National League fixtures at Southend, Altrincham and Maidenhead have been postponed because of Covid-19.

Southend's match against Bromley on Sunday has been called off following "additional" cases of the virus within the Shrimpers' squad.

Maidenhead United v Wealdstone at York Road has also been called off due to cases among the Stones playing squad.

Altrincham's local derby with Stockport on Monday was postponed due to injury and illness in the home squad.

All three fixtures will be rescheduled in due course.

This is Southend's second successive postponed fixture after their match against Barnet on 28 December was also called off due to Covid cases.

Southend drew 1-1 away at Bromley on Boxing Day and are 20th in the table.

Altrincham, beaten 5-1 at Stockport on Boxing Day and 2-0 by Wrexham on Tuesday, have what the club has described as an escalating number of Covid-19 cases within the squad as well as additional injuries.
