The game tonight (Monday) between Everton and Manchester City has been postponed due to more cases of Corona in the teams. Just three days ago, Kyle Walker and Gabriel Jesus from City were found positive for the virus along with two staff members and were removed from the team’s squad.
Pep Guardiola had hoped to do without two key players in the tough away game at Goodison Park, but the manager revealed a few hours before the opening whistle that more cases had been discovered in the teams. As a result, the game from the 15th round will be postponed to another date. In addition, it is still unknown whether City’s game against Manchester United in the League Cup semi-final will take place on the original date (January 3) or be postponed.
At this time the Blues have not yet announced who the other players who have found positive for the virus are but the club have announced that they have gone into isolation according to the guidelines. “Everyone at the club wishes a speedy recovery and return to work and training,” City announced. As you may recall, this is the second game this season in the Premier League that has been postponed due to Corona after the meeting between Aston Villa and Newcastle, which was postponed earlier this month.
