MLS Postpones Rapids-Galaxy, Columbus-Orlando, FC Dallas-Minnesota over COVID-19

Major League Soccer has postponed three contests on Saturday and Sunday following outbreaks of COVID-19 on multiple clubs. 

Scheduled matches between the Colorado Rapids and Los Angeles Galaxy, Columbus Crew and Orlando City as well as FC Dallas and Minnesota United have all been put on hold.

An undisclosed Rapids player tested positive for the coronavirus earlier this weekend.

Per an MLS statement: 

"The Orlando City vs. Columbus Crew match was postponed following two confirmed cases of COVID-19 among the Columbus Crew staff. Orlando City confirmed a positive test result among its first team roster earlier on Saturday.

"MLS also postponed the FC Dallas vs. Minnesota United match following two confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 among the Minnesota United player pool. …

"Another Week 17 match, Colorado Rapids vs. LA Galaxy previously scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 10, was postponed earlier on Friday after a new confirmed positive case of COVID-19 among the Rapids player pool. It was the fourth Rapids game that has been postponed since the first set of positive tests were returned for players and staff on Sept. 23.

"Further information about the new match dates and times will be announced at a later date."

Twelve staff members and five players in Colorado have tested positive since Sept. 24. The Rapids' match against the Galaxy is Colorado's fourth consecutive contest postponed for health and safety purposes. 

Orlando City had one player return a confirmed positive result following routine testing. The player, who is asymptomatic, has been isolated and all other players tested negative.
