According to a Sun report, a club spokesperson said: “The Manchester City Covid-19 bubble underwent testing on Friday and a result has returned as positive from a player outside of the immediate first team roster.. “
“The player has not had contact with the first team in the last ten days. “

The EDS player will join Kyle Walker, Gabriel Jesus, Tommy Doyle and Ederson, plus an additional player from the first team, in isolation until they return a negative result.
