Manchester City's Match vs. Everton Postponed After Multiple COVID-19 Positives

announced Monday that its scheduled matchup against Everton for later in the day has been postponed after "a number of positive cases" for COVID-19 "in addition to the four already reported on Christmas Day."

Per that press release: "With the security of the bubble compromised, there posed a risk that the virus could spread further amongst the squad, the staff and potentially beyond. Based on strong medical advice the Premier League, in consultation with both clubs, have decided to postpone the fixture."

Fullback Kyle Walker and forward Gabriel Jesus were among the four members of the club to test positive over Christmas.
