Manchester City have confirmed that two more players, and one additional staff member, have tested positive for Covid-19 following the club’s latest round of testing.
Goalkeeper Scott Carson and 18-year-old midfielder Cole Palmer are the two members of the playing staff that have tested positive, while an unnamed member of the non-playing staff has also delivered a positive test.
The Premier League club have now seen eight players contract coronavirus as they prepare for their Carabao Cup semi-final tie at Old Trafford.
In another news, Milan pair Ante Rebic and Rade Krunic have tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of Wednesday’s showdown with Juventus.
Both players are asymptomatic and have begun a period of self-isolation at home, Milan confirmed on their official website.
The news comes on the back of Juve announcing that full-backs Alex Sandro and Juan Cuadrado had contracted COVID-19, also ruling them out of the crunch clash at San Siro.
