Manchester City have been dealt a huge blow after Gabriel Jesus and Kyle Walker tested positive for coronavirus.

The City duo will miss their clash with Newcastle at home on Boxing Day and Everton on the 28th.

The pair – who will now have to self-isolate – are expected to return for their match with Chelsea on 3 January.

Two other members of Etihad staff have also contracted Covid-19, and will remain at home under Government rules.

It comes just days after the pair played in a 4-1 quarter-final win in the EFL Cup against Arsenal at the Emirates.
