Manchester City have been rocked with the news that two players are positive for COVID-19.

The Citizens are preparing for the Premier League's start on September 12, even though their first game is not until a week later.

They could be without Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte for a game, with the two testing positive for the coronavirus.

"Both players are currently observing a period of self-isolation in accordance with Premier League and UK Government protocol on quarantine.
