Luton v QPR off after Covid outbreak

Published on: 01 January 2021

Kenilworth Road was one of the first grounds to welcome back crowds following the Covid pandemic

Saturday's Championship game between Luton Town and Queens Park Rangers has been postponed after positive Covid-19 tests among Hatters players and staff.

It is Saturday's second Championship postponement after Bristol City's game at Brentford was also called off.

And there are three more Covid-related postponements in League One.

A Luton statement said: "Positive Covid test results have been returned by some of the club's senior players, football staff and immediate members of family."

The club added: "We are awaiting further testing which unfortunately cannot be completed by official English Football League procedures before tomorrow's 3pm kick-off, so the league has agreed to postpone the fixture based on our own recommendation and the league's medical advice."

It is a first postponement this season for 13th-placed Luton and also for 18th-placed QPR, who are just four points outside the Championship relegation zone.
