Minnesota United has 2nd match postponed due to COVID-19
Minnesota United was supposed to face Chicago Fire FC Wednesday night at Allianz Field, but the match has been postponed due to another Loons’ player testing positive for COVID-19.
Players have been tested daily, and at least one player had a positive test in the hours leading up to kickoff Wednesday. Minnesota United is next scheduled to host Houston Dynamo Sunday night, but that status for that game is unclear as the team deals with COVID-19 protocols.
