Club statement: Bristol City Women (1).

The Robins boss will miss the upcoming fixtures against Tottenham Hotspur and Lewes FC.

Bristol City Men’s Academy Manager Gary Probert will come into support the coaching staff while Oxtoby is unable to attend the fixtures.

The City Manager developed symptoms overnight on Monday, November 9th and began self-isolation on Tuesday as per government guidance. She missed Tuesday’s training session and took a remote test, which returned positive on Wednesday.

All other COVID-19 results from the latest round of testing returned negative, including the group of five players who had been in self-isolation since Saturday after one developed symptoms.

Abi Harrison, Ella Mastrantonio, Charlie Wellings, Gemma Evans and Meaghan Sargeant re-joined the playing group for Wednesday’s training session ahead of the fixture against Tottenham Hotspur.

“I’m wishing the girls the best of luck for the two games we have coming up. I’m gutted I won’t be able to be there and will be in contact and support the team where I can throughout my isolation,” said Oxtoby.

“I would like to thank the club and the medical team for their support over the last 72 hours.”

Everyone at Bristol City Women wishes Tanya a speedy and full recovery.
