The Shrimps informed the EFL and their opponents that it will not be able to play Bolton Wanderers away on Tuesday and Bradford City away on Saturday, January 2.

The decision follows detailed conversations with both club and EFL medical staff.

The Shrimps informed the EFL that they would be unable to fulfil the fixtures following recent positive Covid-19 tests and the requirement for players and staff to self-isolate for 10 days as per EFL and Government guidance in order to mitigate against the risk of further infection.
