Two further positive tests have been confirmed from the latest round of Premier League coronavirus testing, with the division’s restart just days away.
The latest round of tests numbered 1,200 and the two positive tests came from separate clubs, one of whom involved a Norwich player.
Norwich play Southampton on Friday and will, therefore, be without the quarantined player, who has asked not to be named for privacy reasons.
It is not yet clear which club is the home of the other positive test and whether it involves a player or a staff member.
