Lee Johnson has revealed that an unnamed player in the squad has COVID-19, and the next steps...
ONE CASE
“A few little niggles and one Covid case so we are missing one at least going into the game. It’s going to happen isn’t it so we’re just going to have to adjust and bounce off it.”
CLOSE CONTACTS
"There are no further absentees in terms of close contacts, it’s just a case of someone who we had planned to be in the squad now not being able to. So all that is involved is taking a lateral flow test for 7-10 days."
VACCINATION
"That's where the rules are different now. We have to be careful about knocking people out through Covid, but not as careful about knocking them out as close contacts because of our vaccination rate."
TESTING
"Somebody who we were planning to have in the squad, now can't be in the squad. But we will have another round of testing tomorrow. All our players will be setting their alarms for 7.30am for a lateral flow test before we travel down by train."
DAJAKU INJURY
"We’re giving him every chance. We will probably x-ray it because he is still a bit sore but it is a contact injury so we’ll give him every chance to be available but I wouldn’t hold that one in too much hope.”
