More concerning news ahead of the MLS-is-back tournament in Florida. Within the last hour Yahoo Sports carried a story referencing reports from The Athletic’s Paul Tenorio and Sam Stejskal stating that five players on Nashville SC have tested positive for the coronavirus since arriving in Orlando.
One player’s positive test was during the initial arrival testing, and the other four in subsequent testing procedures. It’s a scenario that has the hallmark of the situation affecting FC Dallas.
This now throws Nashville’s first match, in which they were scheduled to meet Chicago Fire, Wednesday, into doubt.
