Kerry's preparations for the All-Ireland U20 semi-final tomorrow against Galway have been rocked by a Covid-19 case in the squad.
The Kingdom county board have confirmed that one player has tested positive for the virus while a number of others have been forced to isolate having been deemed close contacts.
Manager John Sugrue is preparing to take his team to the LIT Gaelic Grounds in Limerick for the last four clash which has already been pushed back six months due to the pandemic.
A Kerry statement read: "A member of the Kerry U20 football Panel has tested positive for Covid-19. On receipt of this information and in advance of contract tracing by the HSE, the U20 Management have felt it prudent that a number of players who may have been in contact with the player should self-isolate.
"This decision by Management is taken in the interest of public health and these Panel members will only re-join the panel when deemed safe to do so by the HSE.
"The U20 Management and Panel have at all times strictly adhered to HSE and Public Health guidelines."
