Two Manchester City players have tested positive for coronavirus.
The club confirmed that Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte tested positive, although neither are showing symptoms.
According to City, the pair are now undergoing a period of self-isolation in accordance with official guidance.
City released a statement: “Manchester City FC can confirm that Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte have tested positive for Covid-19.
“Both players are currently observing a period of self-isolation in accordance with Premier League and UK Government protocol on quarantine. Neither is displaying symptoms of the virus.
“Everyone at the Club wishes Riyad and Aymeric a speedy recovery ahead of their return to training and the new season.”
While the Premier League returns this weekend, Pep’s side aren’t in action until September 21st, where they face Wolves away.
This news means the two player’s involvement in that game is now in some doubt.
