Manchester City FC can confirm that tonight’s Premier League match at Everton has been postponed.
After the latest round of Covid-19 testing, the club turned up a number of positive cases, in addition to the four already reported on Christmas Day.
With the security of the bubble compromised, there was a risk that the virus would spread further among equipment, personnel, and potentially beyond.
Based on firm medical advice, the Premier League, in consultation with both clubs, has decided to postpone the match.
All positive cases involving players and staff will observe a period of self-isolation in accordance with the quarantine protocol of the Premier League and the UK government. The first team training ground at City Football Academy will be closed for an indeterminate period, and the team and associated bubble will undergo testing before a decision is made to resume training.
All of us at the Club wish all of our teammates a speedy recovery before they return to work, training and competition.
