Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed the club will have five players unavailable for Sunday's Premier League game at Chelsea following positive coronavirus tests.
City's game at Everton on Monday was postponed at short notice after three more players tested positive for Covid-19 following the positive tests for Kyle Walker and Gabriel Jesus on Christmas Day.
The latest results bring the total number of first-team personnel at the club isolating to seven, including two other staff members.
Guardiola insisted City had enough players available to play at Everton but, with news of the positive tests only coming through late in the day, there was little alternative but to call off the game.
