EFL postpones Friday’s fixtures after Queen Elizabeth II’s death
Two games that were scheduled to be played on Friday have been postponed by the English Football League (EFL) out of respect for the late Queen Elizabeth II.
In the Championship, Burnley was supposed to play Norwich City, and in League Two, Tranmere Rovers was supposed to host Stockport County.
However, a new date has been set for both games.
“As a mark of respect, following the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II earlier today, the EFL has confirmed that its fixtures scheduled for tomorrow evening (Friday 9 September) – Burnley v Norwich City and Tranmere Rovers v Stockport County – have been postponed,” the statement from EFL read.
It added that the rest of this weekend’s fixtures will be decided on “following a review of the official mourning guidance, in addition to further consultation with DCMS and other sports on Friday morning.”
The Premier League is yet to officially confirm if this weekend’s fixtures will go on as scheduled.
