Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. [Reuters]Five Manchester City first-team players have tested positive for Covid-19 and will not be involved when they play Chelsea in the Premier League this weekend, manager Pep Guardiola said yesterday. A surge in infections at City among players and staff forced the club to lodge a request with the Premier League to postpone Monday's game at Everton. "I don't think the Premier League (will) allow us to name the players but you will know tomorrow," Guardiola told reporters.
