Manchester City footballers, Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte, have tested positive for Covid-19, the club announced on Monday.
“Manchester City FC can confirm that Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte have tested positive for Covid-19,” the club announced in a statement on their website.
“Both players are currently observing a period of self-isolation in accordance with Premier League and UK Government protocol on quarantine,” the club said.
Neither is said to be displaying symptoms of the virus.
Last season, Manchester City finished second in the English Premier League.
The new season starts in five days’ time, on Saturday 12 September, but City’s involvement in the UEFA Champions League means they aren’t due to begin their 2020-21 campaign until September 21, with an away match at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
