The Premier League has announced the fourth round of coronavirus testing revealed no further cases of Covid-19.
A total of 1,130 players and club staff were tested on Thursday and Friday as the Premier League prepares to restart following a hiatus caused by the global coronavirus pandemic.
Premier League’s statement read: ’’The Premier League can today confirm that on Thursday 28 May and Friday 29 May, 1130 players and club staff were tested for COVID-19. Of these, zero have tested positive.
“The Premier League is providing this aggregated information for the purposes of competition integrity and transparency. No specific details as to clubs or individuals will be provided by the League and results will be made public after each round of testing.”
Premier League clubs agreed to resume contact training this week. The provisional date for resuming the League is 17th June.
Manchester city versus Arsenal and Sheffield United versus Aston Villa are due to be the first matches played upon restart.
12 individuals tested positive in the previous rounds of testing.
All the remaining 92 fixtures are due to broadcast nationally, though UK police have requested at least six – including the game in which leaders Liverpool can clinch the title – to be played at neutral venues.
