Paddy Power has joked about Liverpool FC’s recent situation by placing a “false positive” box outside the Emirates Stadium ahead of the Arsenal game.
This comes after Liverpool reported an outbreak of Covid-19 in early January, with manager Jurgen Klopp and players Alisson, Joel Matip and Roberto Firmino contracting the virus.
The rise of Covid-19 cases prompted the club to request a postponement of the Premier League Cup semi-final first game with Arsenal last week, with the English Football League accepting the request.
Other tests, however, revealed that almost all Covid-19 results were recorded as false positives.
With this predicament, bookmaker Paddy Power, as usual, saw the funny side of things, putting the “false positive” box outside the stadium in North London for all to see.
“We know clubs just don’t want to play some games, but coaches get grumpy when people question their reasons,” said a Paddy Power spokesperson. “But don’t worry Liverpool and Jurgen, Paddy’s medical team is on hand to arrange these postponements for you.”
“Just leave your ‘false positive’ tests in our special box and it doesn’t matter if it’s Covid, AFCON or your mom’s birthday if you can’t make it we’ll make sure you never have to play a game you don’t either no questions asked”.
