Colorado Rapids-Portland Timbers match postponed to Nov. 4 due to coronavirus outbreak

Major League Soccer confirmed on Thursday that Saturday's match between the Colorado Rapids and Portland Timbers has been postponed to Nov. 4 because of the coronavirus outbreak within the Rapids.

Colorado first discovered positive COVID-19 cases a week ago, which led to the postponement of last Sunday's game against Sporting Kansas City. That fixture was rescheduled to Oct. 21. 

At least two Rapids players and nine staff members tested positive for the coronavirus from Sept. 24-28. MLS announced on Thursday that two more players and one additional staff member have the virus. 

MLS added: 

"Following the first confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 on Sept. 24, the Colorado Rapids closed their training facility and have not trained since. All players and staff with confirmed cases of COVID-19 have entered self-isolation and the players and staff that have continued to receive negative results have remained in self-quarantine while following MLS health and safety protocols."

Colorado plays LAFC next Wednesday. It's unknown if that match will occur as planned.
