Aston Villa's FA Cup third-round tie with Liverpool is in doubt after a "significant" coronavirus outbreak at the Midlands club.
Dean Smith's side are scheduled to face the Reds at 19:45 GMT on Friday.
Villa said a decision as to whether the game can go ahead will be made on Friday "pending the results of additional Covid19 testing".
A large number of first-team players and staff are in isolation after returning positive tests on Monday.
The Premier League club's training ground was closed on Thursday after a second round of testing produced more positive results.
"Discussions are ongoing between medical representatives of the club, the Football Association and the Premier League," Villa said in an earlier statement.
