Decision on Nashville SC’s Participation in MLS-is-Back to be Made Overnight

Nashville SC could be the second club, after FC Dallas, to withdraw and return home from the MLS-is-Back tournament in Orlando.

The league announced Tuesday, that five of the club’s players had tested positive for COVID-19, with four others receiving inconclusive results.

The Athletic then reported Wednesday, the four players with inconclusive results now had confirmed positive results, a situation which clearly puts Nashville’s participation in grave jeopardy.

Given that FC Dallas were withdrawn when they had ten players test positive, I cannot see how the Nashville team can remain in the tournament.
