Are the suspicious symptoms that they thought they were a footballer but it turns out they are not? My prime candidates are Siggurdson and Scheinerlin ...

Everton Football Club can confirm that, as a precautionary measure, its entire first-team squad and coaching staff are undertaking a period of self-isolation following medical advice.

The step has been taken after a first-team player reported symptoms consistent with coronavirus. The Club is in regular contact with the player in question and is monitoring the wellbeing of all players and staff.

The health, welfare and safety of all Everton players, staff and stakeholders is the Club’s absolute priority. Therefore, the Club has taken the decision to close down all Everton workplaces including USM Finch Farm, Goodison Park and its headquarters at the Royal Liver Building in Liverpool City Centre. The Club’s retail store at Goodison Park will also close but its Liverpool ONE store is unaffected and will remain open.

Everton will continue to adhere to UK Government and Public Health guidelines with regards to the closure of its facilities and wellbeing of staff and will be discussing next steps with regards to upcoming fixtures with the Premier League on Friday morning.

Further updates will be provided in due course, including guidance relating to forthcoming fixtures.

We will all have to find something else to get really angry about on Monday night.

I'm in two minds about the prospect of the match being postponed. On one hand I think this is good time to play them given their form lately and extra
time on Wednesday - even allowing for our pathetic effort at Chelsea. On the other hand I can imagine Klopp getting them revved up for full-on push
because of the chance of the season not being completed. On balance, I hope the match goes ahead.

Game definitely off now then with the whole squad in self-isolation.

Our entire first team squad and staff are in isolation.

The match isnt going to happen.

I thought they already were against Chelsea

What if the player's illness turns out not to be CODIV 9? Has it been confirmed? It doesn't take long to get the result of a test, I don't think.
