The Premier League match between West Bromwich Albion and Burnley has been postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. According to official statements from both clubs and the league, the match was initially scheduled to take place at The Hawthorns, but a series of external factors led to the decision to call it off.
The specific reason for the postponement has been attributed to safety concerns related to the weather conditions, which have significantly impacted travel and the pitch itself. Heavy rainfall in the region created a saturated playing surface, making it unsafe for both teams to compete. Furthermore, the ongoing stormy weather made it difficult for away fans to safely travel to the stadium.
In addition, Burnley was facing a number of illness, including several positive cases among key players and staff. This has contributed to player shortages, further complicating the fixture.
Both clubs, along with the Premier League, have agreed to reschedule the match for a later date, although no specific timeline has been confirmed. Fans are advised to retain their tickets, which will remain valid for the rearranged fixture. Further details will be provided once a new date is confirmed. The decision has been made with the health and safety of all involved as the top priority.
