NEWPORT County AFC manager Michael Flynn missed the League Two clash at Tranmere Rovers – and will sit out the Carabao Cup clash with Southampton – after testing positive for coronavirus.
The Exiles manager started suffering from symptoms at the end of the week and missed Friday’s training session after going for a PCR test.
Flynn has received a positive result and missed the win at Prenton Park, while he will also be at home for Wednesday’s meeting with the Premier League Saints and next Saturday’s League Two encounter with Salford City at Moor Lane.
His assistant Wayne Hatswell called the shots at Tranmere and will be the main man in the dugout against Southampton and the Ammies.
