Isolating in U.S. Steffen (COVID-19) is isolating in the United States and won't be an option for the next two matches, according to manager Pep Guardiola.
Impact Steffen tested positive less than a week ago, so he still has another five or so days until he can test negative. It's unfortunate for him because with the situation surrounding Ederson, there's a chance Scott Carson is forced to start for Man City this weekend.
