- Coronavirus tests clear under-23 and youth players
- Club’s first team and staff in isolation after Covid outbreak
Aston Villa’s FA Cup third-round tie at home to Liverpool on Friday night will go ahead, with Villa cleared to use players from their under-23s and youth team after a Covid outbreak.
Villa’s entire first-team squad and staff have been forced into isolation but testing on the younger players provided enough negative results for the club to field a team. The under-23s manager, Mark Delaney, will take charge.
