Sergio Aguero is one of a number of positive coronavirus cases at City since Christmas. Kyle Walker, Gabriel Jesus, Ederson and Ferran Torres are among the senior players also to have been forced to isolate in recent weeks.

Tennis Icon Andy Murray also went into isolation last week after testing positive for the novel Covid-19 which is set to impact his preparations for February’s delayed Australian Open.

Andy Murray has already been self-isolating for several days and the Australian Open is trying to provide some leeway within its strict quarantine rules to get players and staff there.

The former world No.1 is understood to be in good health and isolating at his Surrey home. Murray has not played an ATP Tour match since last October.

However, according to a media report, the former world number one is still hopeful to make a comeback.
