COVID cases mean Perth Glory’s upcoming Isuzu UTE A-League fixtures against Melbourne City and Newcastle Jets have been postponed.
Perth were scheduled to face defending champions City at AAMI Park in Melbourne on Sunday before meeting the Jets at WIN Stadium on Wednesday.
However, those contests will not go ahead as planned as a result of positive coronavirus cases.
“Protocols put in place by the A-Leagues continue to be effective for screening and subsequent RAT or PCR testing in detecting the virus and ensuring immediate isolation,” the A-Leagues said in a statement.
“We continue to work closely with each government health department to implement the relevant state health directives in clubs where COVID cases are present.
“Our primary concern is for the health, wellbeing and safety of all players, staff and their families. We will continue to work with all clubs to confirm a new schedule for all postponed matches as soon as possible.”
Perth are second from bottom in the A-League Men, level on points with bottom side Wellington Phoenix through seven games.
City – who have played nine matches – are fifth in the standings and three points off the pace, while the Jets are a point better off than the Glory.
