Manchester City have been hit by a major coronavirus outbreak, with 21 members of their first team isolating ahead of tomorrow’s FA Cup tie at Swindon Town.
Manager, Pep Guardiola and assistant, Juanma Lillo, tested positive for Covid earlier this week, with seven of his squad also isolating.
Other staff members have tested positive, but City expect their third round tie at League Two Swindon to proceed.
A statement by the club reads, “The City manager recorded a positive test on Tuesday along with assistant Juanma Lillo. Both are now isolating, along with a number of other positive cases within the City first team bubble.
“This brings the number of those isolating for Covid related reasons amongst the group to 21. Of that number, 14 are backroom staff with seven first team players.
“Assistant coach Rodolfo Borrell will take charge of the team for the trip to Swindon.”
