A Perth Glory player has tested positive for COVID-19, threatening the club's immediate A-League Men fixtures.

Glory are in Brisbane preparing for Saturday's clash with the Roar.

But that game could be postponed after the unnamed Glory player tested positive for coronavirus.

It's understood Glory are now stranded in their hotel waiting for further advice.

After facing Brisbane, Glory were due to fly to Adelaide to take on the Reds next week.

But there's a possibility the squad could return to Perth if given the green light to enter Western Australia, where they would have to serve quarantine.

Glory have been on the road for all but their season opener due to the complexities of WA's hard border.

Their stint on the road was set to be extended until the WA border opens on February 5, with the club considering sending families across state lines in the meantime to be with the players.

The Glory will release a statement later on Thursday.
