Ben Mee: Burnley defender to miss Manchester City game with Covid

Burnley defender Ben Mee has tested positive for Covid-19 and will miss Saturday's Premier League game at Manchester City.

Clarets manager Sean Dyche said the 32-year-old was "fine" but that it is not clear when Mee will be available again.

Dyche, who said the club captain's case is an isolated one, would not reveal what percentage of his side has been vaccinated against coronavirus.

"Everyone's at liberty to decide what they wish to decide," Dyche said.

"I'm double vaccinated and all of my staff, as far as I know, are. I've got my children double vaccinated, my family double vaccinated.
