Town centre-half Luke Woolfenden is self-isolating for a minimum of 14 days having come into close contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid-19, the club has announced.
A statement on the official website reads: "Luke Woolfenden has entered a period of self-isolation after coming into close contact with an individual who has tested positive for Covid-19.
"Blues were alerted to the positive test result yesterday, with Woolfy not attending the training ground and absent for the trip to Sunderland for tonight’s League One fixture.
"The Town centre-back is now self-isolating for a minimum of 14 days in line with Government guidelines.
"At present, Woolfy is not displaying symptoms but the 22-year-old will be in regular conversation with the medical staff at the club.”
Woolfenden, whose place in the team at Sunderland this evening is being taken by Toto Nsiala, is also definitely out of the FA Cup tie against Portsmouth on Saturday and the Papa John’s Trophy clash with Crawley next Tuesday.
