As was first reported by The Athletic, 3rd Degree sources have told us of two more positive Covid-19 test results in the FC Dallas camp. This time it’s one new player and one coach.
Update (July 10): Paul Tenorio with the Athletic is reporting the player was a false positive and is now negative. I have been unable to confirm this.
The totals in Orlando are now up to 11 players and 2 coaches testing positive.
Still no official word on when FCD will return home but it likely won’t be before July 15th we understand.
Today on his radio show, Coach Luchi Gonzalez said some players have been cleared and returned to the wing of the hotel where most of the team is located. The players who are positive remain in a separate wing.
