Liverpool: In the view of corona pandemic, Everton's clash with Manchester City has been deferred. The Toffees were due to play host to Pep Guardiola's team at Goodison Park in the Premier League clash on Monday night.
The city said, "Based on strong medical advice the Premier League, in consultation with both clubs, have decided to postpone the fixture. The first team training ground at City Football Academy will close for an indeterminate period, with the squad and associated bubble undergoing testing before any decision is made for training to restart.
In a statement, the city said, "After the latest round of COVID-19 testing, the club returned a number of positive cases, in addition to the four already reported on Christmas Day. With the security of the bubble compromised, there posed a risk that the virus could spread further amongst the squad, the staff and potentially beyond." All positive cases involving players and staff will be in self-isolation in accordance with Premier League and UK Government protocol on quarantine.
