Hull’s Sky Bet Championship match against Blackburn became the latest Boxing Day fixture to be postponed.

The Tigers announced just over two hours before kick-off that the match – due to be televised by Sky Sports – would not go ahead due to positive cases in their squad.

Hull wrote on Twitter: ‘Today’s match has been postponed due to positive Covid-19 cases in our squad, so we are unable to field the required number of players for the game.

‘We apologise to both sets of fans for the inconvenience caused by the late notice.’
