She is in eighth place and seven points from the top (although she has two games missing), but Manchester City have things that are more worrying at the moment. The Blues, who are set to face Chelsea on Sunday for a huge battle in the Premier League will be missing five key players who have been found positive for the Corona virus and are in isolation.
The two best known to everyone are of course Kyle Walker and Gabriel Jesus, who were also absent from City’s 0-2 win over Newcastle. The coronation blow in the ranks of the English runner-up led to the postponement of the game against Everton that was supposed to take place on Wednesday, but currently no postponement of the match against Chelsea is being prepared either which means it will arrive with a missing squad.
The corona did not prevent fromPep Guardiola To appear at the press conference ahead of the match and he took the stage to talk about his positive players for the virus: “The Premier League told us not to reveal their names and we will have to keep their privacy, but when you see the squad and find it missing three important players you will know exactly who is positive. Discover for myself. “
“We follow what the league managers say. They do a great job and we are pleased that we can play and do our job, but the fact that the virus is here cannot be ignored,” Pep added. “We have to be careful. We could have played against Everton, we had enough players and we wanted to do it, but what if we were to stick with its players?”
