Pep Guardiola has no doubt it was right to call off Manchester City's game at Everton on Monday.
At the time the Merseyside club issued a statement calling for "full disclosure" of all information behind the Premier League's decision.
The match at Goodison Park was postponed just hours before kick-off after three further City players tested positive for coronavirus.
"We would have loved to play that game but unfortunately I think the Premier League decided, wisely, for the welfare of everyone to not increase the cases and increase the situation."
City's trip to Chelsea on Sunday remains on but Guardiola will be without the five players who are now isolating.
Guardiola says the club are not yet in a position to name the three players who tested positive prior to the Everton game.
He said: "The Premier League told us not to reveal it. Some clubs announce, sometimes they don't, and we also have to respect the privacy for the players, maybe.
"But you will see the line-up and three players – important players – who are not there."
