Leicester City's home game against Manchester City in the Women's Continental League Cup on Wednesday has been postponed because of Covid-19.

A Manchester City statement said the decision had been taken by the Football Association "following a number of further positive Covid-19 cases".

City duo Keira Walsh and Janine Beckie both missed the club's WSL match on Sunday after testing positive.

Lucy Bronze also withdrew "under test and trace guidelines" as a precaution.

A Leicester statement apologised for "the inconvenience and disruption caused by the postponement".

They added that they wished "everyone affected by the outbreak at Manchester City a speedy recovery".

The game will be rearranged and tickets bought for the original game will be valid for the new date.
