Millwall boss Gary Rowett tests positive for coronavirus

Gary Rowett will be absent for games against Preston on October 28 and future games against Huddersfield and Norwich.

Millwall manager Gary Rowett has tested positive for Covid-19, the Sky Bet Championship club have confirmed.

The club posted on their Twitter feed: "Rowett woke up this morning (Friday) with very mild symptoms of the virus and consequently took a test.

"In line with existing Government guidelines, the Lions boss will self-isolate for a period of 10 days.

"Assistant manager, Adam Barrett, will lead the team throughout Rowett's absence."
