Dundee could be missing as many as six key players for their Premiership clash with Motherwell at Fir Park tomorrow, following a second positive Covid test inside a week.
Forwards Zak Rudden and Luke McCowan already missed the midweek 0-0 draw with Hibs through Covid-related absences.
But five players have been identified as close contacts of the latest case.
A Dundee statement read: "Dundee Football Club can can confirm that our scheduled Covid-19 testing this week has returned two positive tests.
"The first positive case earlier this week led to five players being identified as close contacts and as a result, some members of the squad missed out against Hibernian due to isolation periods.
"Testing ahead of tomorrow’s match at Fir Park has returned another positive case and as a result, a further five players have been identified as close contacts and some further players will have to isolate as a result.
"The club is cooperating fully with the appropriate authorities."
Players who are triple vaccinated and testing negative even if they have been identified as close contacts don't need to self-isolate.
