Waterford FC have said they are unable to fulfill their upcoming Premier Division fixture away to Sligo Rovers on Saturday evening.
The club have informed the FAI of their desire to forfeit the fixture but the association has yet to issue a statement.
The decision will mean that Liam Buckley's side will be handed a 3-0 win.
"Waterford FC have today informed the FAI that we are unable to fulfill our SSE Airtricity League Premier Division fixture with Sligo Rovers FC this coming Saturday evening due to the ongoing COVID-19 positive case," the club said in a statement this evening.
"As per HSE guidelines, a further full round of tests on our first-team squad will take place this weekend before a return to full training on Monday, May 17th, based on results."
Waterford's senior squad was stood down following a positive Covid-19 test within the squad which left nine other close contacts among the playing staff.
The club played their U19 squad in last Saturday's Premier Division game at home to Drogheda United, losing 7-0.
