CREWE Alexandra have confirmed two more positive coronavirus tests following Saturday's postponed game at Oxford United.

The Cheshire side now have four players self-isolating after Ryan Wintle and Omar Beckles were found to have the virus last week.

Crewe's visit to United was called off after Beckles received his positive test in the build-up to the game, although they only informed their opponents after arriving at the Kassam Stadium.

The players showed no symptoms but were found to have the virus in another round of testing.

Crewe manager: We did the 'right thing morally' after Covid case

Boss David Artell told the club’s official website:  “It has been a crazy, unexpected few days for us all. It has been tough.

"The players and staff were all tested over the weekend and we have had a couple of positives tests.

“They were self-isolate for 10 days and although they can do much, we will set them a programme to keep them as fit as we can.

"They are all in disbelief because they have no symptoms but this is the nature of the virus.

“It is amongst us but the majority of the tests are negative, so there is a bit of comfort in the fact that our procedures and practices are in place and seem to be working.

“Of course, the timing of Omar’s test was terrible and like I’ve said on Saturday, the right decision was made."

There is still no confirmation of when the rearranged fixture will take place, with next Tuesday United's only blank midweek until November 17.
