Manchester City are facing a fixture pile-up that could ultimately derail their season if the covid outbreak at the club escalates further.
City face a potentially season-defining 48 hours as they put their squad through more testing on Tuesday after their game against Everton on Monday night was postponed.
Sportsmail reported that three of City's team returned positive tests on Monday, and the match at Goodison Park was called off around five hours before kick-off.
Kyle Walker and Gabriel Jesus were already in self-isolation, along with two other City staff, after contracting the virus last week, before another trio of players tested positive.
