MLS is Back tournament schedule updated due to Covid-19 cases
Due to many players testing positive for Covid-19 in Orlando, Florida, many teams have been forced to opt out from the MLS is Back tournament.
The first team to withdraw from the 'MLS is Back' tournament was FC Dallas after more than five players tested positive for coronavirus. Prior to the beginning of the competition last Wednesday, many teams were reporting positive cases which forced the MLS to update the tournament schedule.
