Several new cases of Covid-19 are affecting Premier League – Manchester City's turnover for the first time higher than Manchester United's”>Manchester City‘s workforce, Citizens coach Pep Guardiola of Spain announced on Friday. “We have a few new cases but they want to remain anonymous so I can’t tell you (who),” Guardiola said at a press conference on the eve of the Premier League matchday 22 summit match between the champion in title, Premier League leader, and runner-up Chelsea, on Saturday at the Etihad Stadium.
This degraded situation in the Manchester City house does not call into question the holding of the meeting between the Citizens and the Blues for the moment.
On January 13, on the eve of a match in the third round of the FA Cup against the modest team of Swindon Town (D4), 21 members of the staff of Manchester City, seven players and 14 members of the management had been placed in solitary confinement, including Guardiola himself.
“Some come back, some are positive again. When you’ve tested once and then tested negative twice, you come back. Otherwise, no,” said the coach.
“We are fine. Thank you,” Guardiola said when asked about his state of health and that of his family.
