Two More Kettering Players In Self-Isolation

Kettering FC have said that two more of their players and one of their coaching staff are in self-isolation after showing possible signs of coronavirus.

Alastair Smith was the first of their players to become poorly. He is on loan from Mansfield.

Kettering played their game at Telford last Saturday and the previous Tuesday played Hereford.

“Mansfield rang me yesterday (Monday) and Alistair had been really poorly for three days but he is coming out of it now," said manager Paul Cox.

“But we have also had Matty Taylor and Jason Law who have had to self-isolate as well as Ben Marvin so we have definitely had something in the camp.

“I don’t know whether it is the coronavirus but we have taken the precautionary measures.

“Clubs have locked down now and are keeping people away from each other and to work to the guidelines that everyone has been given.

“As far as we are concerned, I spoke to the chairman (David Mahoney) and we came to the decision that for the next week we would basically do nothing and keep the players away from the club and then we will reassess it after the weekend.”
