York City manager David Webb to miss first match in charge after being admitted to hospital with Covid-19

York City manager David Webb will miss what was due to be his first match in charge of York City after being rushed to hospital with a lung infection caused by Covid-19.

Webb was appointed as John Askey's replacement late last week, and watched the 1-1 draw with Wrexham from the stands.

Saturday's Conference North game at Working was due to be his first as manager but assistant Michael Morton will now take the team.
