- Announcement made four hours before kick off
- City close training ground on medical advice
Manchester City’s Premier League game at Everton has been postponed and the club’s training ground closed for an indeterminate period after a number of their players tested positive for Covid-19.
City requested the postponement on Monday morning when their latest round of testing revealed an increase in positive cases among the squad. The club had confirmed four positive tests on Christmas Day, including for Kyle Walker and Gabriel Jesus, and a Premier League board meeting agreed to rearrange the Goodison Park fixture hours before it was due to kick off.
