With just 5 days to the start of the 2020/21 English Premier League season, Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte test positive to COVID-19.
The Manchester City duo will now observe seven days of self-isolation and get tested on the eighth day. Both Laporte and Mahrez have confirmed the news via their twitter handles after Manchester City announced the club website.
The good news is that both players are asymptomatic. However, both players would most likely miss Manchester City’s first game of the season against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The game will take place at the Molineux Stadium on the 21st of September.
