In addition to Guardiola, assistant coach Juanma Lillo and several members from the “first team bubble” tested positive, it said.
Among the 21 people currently isolating themselves, seven are players and 14 are members of the support team. Manchester City did not initially disclose who this is exactly. City’s assistant coach Rodolfo Borrell will look after the team during the FA Cup game on Friday at English fourth division club Swindon Town.
“He’s fine,” said Borrell at the pre-cup press conference. “He has the virus, but luckily he doesn’t have many symptoms.” The Guardiola assistant did not want to say which players tested positive, but indicated that there were young players among them.
