TWO more Worcester City players have contracted the 'flu virus that continued to sweep through the club prior to last night's postponed Nationwide North game at Bradford Park Avenue.

Midfield Jai Stanley and centre-half Barry Woolley picked up the bug yesterday and have been ordered to miss training tonight and stay at home to rest.

Colin Hoyle and Pat Lyons missed the Nuneaton clash due to 'flu, while long-term injury victim Christian Moore and manager John Barton have also gone down with the illness.

Stanley, Woolley and Lyons were all prepared to play last night, despite feeling under the weather.

But defender Hoyle did not make the City travelling coach, which was forced to turn around in Sheffield at 5.05pm when Avenue officials postponed the fixture for a waterlogged pitch.

Barton said: "The only one that wasn't on the coach was Hoyley. He had a relapse the night before the game and stayed at home.

"We went up there not in the best of nick anyway because of the virus that is going around. It's been sweeping through us and has got a grip on us."
