COVID-19 continues to infiltrate the MLS is Back Tournament bubble with five members of Nashville SC testing positive and another four producing inconclusive tests.
As a result, the league has postponed Nashville’s match against Chicago Fire FC, originally planned as one of the Florida tournament’s two openers Wednesday.
MLS said it will “continue to evaluate Nashville SC’s participation” in the tournament pending the results of additional testing.
The news comes one day after FC Dallas was forced to withdraw from the World Cup-style tournament in the wake of 10 players and a coach testing positive for the virus.
