    Speculation had been mounting after ticket sales were suspended for tomorrow evening's match. League Two trips to Crawley Town and Leyton Orient are also off.

    Harrogate Town said tonight it has postponed the club's next three games after players in the squad tested positive for coronavirus.

    It will mean tomorrow night's Carabao Cub fixture against Rochdale at the EnviroVent Stadium will not go ahead as planned.

    Two trips in League Two to Crawley Town and Leyton Orient are also off, which were due to be played on August 14 and August 17 respectively.

    The club said this evening that "a number of individuals" are unable to play or train due to a positive test or contact with someone who has tested positive.

    If Harrogate Town are unable to re-arrange the cup fixture against Rochdale before the next round then they would have to forfeit the tie.

    Those who purchased a ticket for the Rochdale game will receive a full refund if it cannot go ahead.

    A spokesperson for the club said:

    "Due to positive covid cases within our playing squad, our next three fixtures have been postponed, including tomorrow’s Carabao Cup fixture against Rochdale at The EnviroVent Stadium.
    "Our SkyBet League Two trips to Crawley Town and Leyton Orient on Saturday 14th and Tuesday 17th August have also been postponed.
    "In respect of rescheduling the Carabao Cup game, the League will consider any proposal put forward by the Club as under the rules, if a fixture is not able to be re-arranged ahead of the following round, then a club would have to forfeit the tie.
    "It means a number of individuals are unable to play or train due to either a positive test or the requirement to self-isolate in line with government and English Football League guidance.
    "The club will continue to work with covid protocols as set out by the EFL to ensure the safety of our players and staff.
    "All supporters who had purchased a ticket for our Carabao Cup fixture will receive a full refund should the game not be rearranged, or their ticket will be valid for the new date of the fixture."
