Dover's National League game away to Sutton on Monday in the National League has been postponed.

It is the ninth fixture this season that has been postponed for Andy Hessenthaler's squad.

A statement from Sutton said; "Following the return of a positive Covid-19 test among our squad, Monday’s scheduled National League game against Dover Athletic has been postponed and in line with league protocol will be rearranged for later in the season, and the club has been placed in isolation for ten days with effect from 23 December.

"Our game against Bromley next Saturday had already been postponed so our next game at present is scheduled to be away to Altrincham on Saturday 9 January.

"We offer our best wishes for a speedy recovery to those involved. If there is anyone who has already purchased a pass for the live stream of the game, their money will be refunded in full."

Dover's next game will be the trip to Dagenham on Saturday. They lost the reverse fixture 1-0 at home to the Daggers on Boxing Day, with Whites playing nearly an hour with 10 men following a Josh Passley red card and missing a second-half penalty through Ade Azeez.
