Man City to have three rounds of COVID-19 testing after outbreak in the squad

Manchester City are set to carry out three rounds of COVID-19 tests ahead of Sunday’s clash with Chelsea to try to keep control of the outbreak at the club.

City’s Premier League clash with Everton on December 28 was called off just four hours before kick-off after more members of the squad - believed to be three players - tested positive for the virus.

Kyle Walker, Gabriel Jesus and two staff members were already in quarantine, in accordance with government guidelines, after positive test results ahead of the victory over Newcastle on December 26.
