CHENNAI: Chennaiyin FC (CFC) are no longer insulated from Covid-19 with the club's goalkeeper Vishal Kaith had contracting the virus a few days ago. Coach Bozidar Bandovic confirmed the development on Tuesday, the eve of CFC's match against Bengaluru FC. "Kaith is the only player who has contracted the virus. His reports came on January 22, the day of our last match against NEUFC. Since then, we have been in isolation," Bandovic told a media conference.
The good news for CFC though is that no other player or support staff has tested positive so far and the team was finally able to conduct a full-fledged training session after being cooped up at their hotel rooms for the last three days. However, the players will be tested again on Wednesday and a call on their participation in the match will be taken if anyone returns positive.
