Brighton Head Coach Graham Potter has tested positive for coronavirus, ruling him out of Sunday's Premier League clash at Leicester.

The Seagulls go into the match on the back of an undefeated run of six games which has seen them climb back into the top half of the Premier League following a challenging run of form.

Assistant boss Billy Reid will take charge for the game against Leicester.

It will be the first time Reid has been a match day manager since he took the reins at Hamilton in 2013. 

Earlier this week, Potter moved to refute claims linking him with the vacancy at Everton.

The Goodison Park club are in the process of appointing a new manager to replace the ousted Rafa Benitez, who lost his job following a 2-1 defeat to Norwich City at the weekend.
