The announcement has come as no surprise after York's game at Boston United was called off on Saturday, when a player tested positive.

It is nonetheless a disappointment for in-form Fylde, who have won both matches since the turn of the year without conceding a goal.

York City have confirmed that all players and staff have embarked on a period of self-isolation.

It is the third time this season that the York club has been hit by Covid and the second time their match against Fylde has been called off.

Tuesday's game was scheduled to be York's last at their 88-year-old Bootham Crescent ground before moving to the new LNER Stadium in the city.

A revised date for the York fixture will be announced in due course.

The Coasters are next due in action at home to Blyth Spartans on Saturday.
