Fulham’s Premier League match against Liverpool, scheduled to start at 3pm, has been postponed by 15 minutes due to a medical emergency. Jonny Phillips told Sky Sports about the delay: “There was a medical emergency here and a medical person on staff was injured.
“They had to bring all the ambulances to the ground. The road was closed before the game, but they had to reopen it. For now, all the players are back in the changing rooms.”
The Premier League also released a statement: “Due to a medical incident in the crowd at Craven Cottage, kick-off for today’s Fulham v Liverpool match has been postponed to 3.15pm.”
It comes as Arn Slott’s Liverpool travel to Craven Cottage on Sunday hoping to close the gap in the Premier League table after a lackluster start to the season. Currently, the Reds are in 4th place with 10 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses, and their efforts are paying off.
At the time of writing, Liverpool are eight points behind third-placed Manchester City and 15 points behind league leaders Arsenal. Meanwhile, Fulham will be hoping to continue turning the tide after their own poor run of form.
Fulham currently sit 14th in the table with eight wins, three losses and three draws from 19 games, and come into this encounter unbeaten in their last four league games thanks to a draw with Crystal Palace as well as wins over Burnley, Nottingham Forest and West Ham.
