Manchester United report more positive cases in Covid-19 outbreak

The last update was on December 15th, 2021.

Positive cases among staff and players were confirmed by the tests.

The squad returned to training and there were more positive coronaviruses reported.

The players who returned positive tests did not train on Wednesday.

They are going to face off against the Seagulls on Saturday.

The club keeps the league informed of developments, so it's not clear if that fixture will be played.

The match between the two teams was postponed because of an outbreak of Covid within the visitors' squad.

The game is scheduled to start at 19:30, with the announcement made on social media at 17:52.

It was the third match in the last week to have been called off because of Covid outbreak, after Spurs' trip to Seagulls on Sunday and United's game against Brentford on Tuesday.

42 players and staff from the premier league tested positive for coronaviruses in the latest round of testing, which was the highest recorded number in a seven day period since testing began.

On December 9, the Premier League told clubs to return to emergency measures, including social distancing and wearing masks, after new coronaviruses rules were introduced in England.
