Manchester City defender Eric Garcia and a staff member have tested positive for COVID-19, the club have announced hours before they take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge .

“Both personnel will now observe a period of self-isolation in accordance with Premier League and UK Government protocol on quarantine,” City said in a statement.

Pep Guardiola said five first-team players had tested positive for the coronavirus and would not be involved in the game.

The club said last week that striker Gabriel Jesus and defender Kyle Walker had tested positive, though Guardiola did not name the other three infected players.
