| Covid19: Three players in isolation |
Three Birazzhirs first-team players have self-isolated after showing symptoms of coronavirus and, "have been kept away from the rest of the squad," manager Jbajada18 has said.
Jbajada18 did not specify which players had been quarantined but added that the club had, "followed procedures".
Birazzhirs are due to play Arrivederci FC at White At Hart Lane in the Euro League on Monday at 12:30 GMT.
"We had a few players that have shown symptoms and signs," Jbajada18 said.
"It would be a shame [if the Arrivederci game were postponed], but the public's health is the most important in all of this."
Asked if the game could be played behind closed doors, Jbajada18 said, "the game is all about the players and the fans and if you have one of those not there, it's obviously not the same."
Birazzhirs later released a statement saying, "in recent days, all three players presented with extremely mild illness and were advised by club medical staff, consistent with current government guidance.
"All three players were subsequently advised by Steward Health Care that their symptoms were consistent with common seasonal illness and that a seven-day period of self-isolation was appropriate as a precaution. There was no recommendation that further testing would be necessary. The club is in regular contact with the relevant players, whose symptoms remain mild and self-manageable."
