The A-Leagues have confirmed that a player from Glory’s Isuzu Ute A-League football department has tested positive for COVID-19 whilst in Queensland and is currently isolating in line with QLD Health directions.
The case involves a double-vaccinated person who tested positive to a regular rapid antigen test and PCR test on 15 December.
No other members of the club’s playing, coaching, medical and operational staff have presented symptoms, but all have undergone PCR testing and are isolating as per the Health directive.
As a result, the scheduled Round 5 fixture between Brisbane Roar and Perth Glory (Saturday 18 December) and the scheduled Round 6 fixture between Adelaide United and Perth Glory (Thursday 23 December) have been postponed until early 2022.
All A-Leagues players and coaching staff undergo daily screening processes including daily rapid antigen tests.
The squad had its previous test on Saturday 11 December and all received negative results.
The A-Leagues is working closely with the relevant health authorities, the PFA and Perth Glory to work through the impact of these challenges on the players and staff involved and their families.
