Five Man City players isolating after contracting COVID-19
Five Manchester City players are continuing to isolate and won t be available for the game against Chelsea after contracting COVID-19, manager Pep Guardiola said on Friday.
Ahead of Sunday s trip to Stamford Bridge, City have returned to training after the virus outbreak led to the postponement of Monday s Premier League match against Everton.
- I don t think the Premier League allow us to name the players but you will know tomorrow, Guardiola told reporters on Friday. We had enough players to play against Everton, we wanted to play but, on the day of the game, with more cases we informed the Premier League and I personally called [Everton manager] Carlo Ancelotti to explain the situation.

American goalkeeper Zack Steffen was handed his Premier League debut for Manchester City s trip to Chelsea on Sunday with Ederson among the members of Pep Guardiola s side self-isolating due to a positive coronavirus test.
City s clash at Everton on Monday was postponed after three new cases were detected following four positive tests on Christmas Day, including for Gabriel Jesus and Kyle Walker.
The other players absent are Ferran Torres, Eric Garcia and Tommy Doyle.
Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake are also sidelined by injury, but Guardiola was forced to make just three changes from City s last outing against Newcastle on Boxing Day.
