Ex-Portsmouth, Leeds and Ipswich striker among Swindon quartet who tested positive for coronavirus

The Robins were forced to postpone their League One derby against Oxford United on Saturday.

Players Toby Holland and Tommy Wright, assistant-boss Hunt and goalkeeping coach Steve Mildenhall all contracted coronavirus.

Meanwhile, midfielder Jordan Stevens has to self-isolate after sharing a car with Holland and physio Tom Holmes is suspected to have the virus after showing symptoms.

Hunt, who scored one goal in 24 games during Pompey's League Two title-winning season in 2016-2017, is now self-isolating.

Manager Richie Wellens is also following the protocol despite testing negative.

Wellens told BBC Wiltshire: ‘We would be going into the game without football staff, just the kit men and fitness coach.

‘How can you turn up for a professional football match like that?

‘The goalkeeper needs someone to warm him up and get the players ready, you need staff to make sure everything is organised.’

Swindon's clash with Accrington tomorrow night is also off.

Stanley had eight players test positive for coronavirus and saw their game with Bristol Rovers postponed at the weekend.

Pompey welcome Swindon to Fratton Park on Boxing Day.
