The Club can confirm that Scott Parker will not be in the dugout for our home fixture against Southampton on Boxing Day.
Following a member of his household testing positive for Covid-19, and despite returning a negative result, Scott has been self-isolating this week in accordance with the guidance.
Matt Wells and Stuart Gray will take charge of the team on Saturday.
Subject to returning a further negative result, Scott Parker will return to the dugout for our away fixture against Tottenham Hotspur on 30 December.
