Boxing Day game off

Charlton's Boxing Day game at Wimbledon has been called off because of the number of Covid-19 cases among the squad.  The Sparrows Lane training ground was closed at the beginning of the week: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/afc-wimbledon-charlton-is-off-addicks-have-a-number-of-positive-covid-19-cases/

The fixture had attracted considerable interest from the Addickted with another 40 tickets being released.  A number of Charlton fans had purchased tickets among the Wombles.

The Gillingham game on the 29th may also be in doubt.   Given increasing evidence of the relative lack of severity of the Omacron variant, there may not be stringent lockdown measures, but the question may be whether either club can field a full team.
