(Reuters) - Premier League clubs will meet on Monday to discuss disruptions caused by COVID-19, British media reported, after nine scheduled top-flight matches have been postponed due to outbreaks at various teams.

Chelsea and Liverpool had key players missing on Thursday while Tottenham Hotspur, who had 13 cases among players and staff, have not played since Dec. 5 and had three games postponed in all competitions.

"There are a lot of concerns and a lot of unanswered questions," Gerrard said before Burnley's visit to Villa Park on Saturday, one of only five league games going ahead this weekend. "There is also an opportunity for the captains to get together to speak and have a debate on what is the best thing to do in the current situation."
