Watford FC manager Nigel Pearson says two more players are self-isolating after being in close contact with people who tested positive for coronavirus.
The club has not named the two players and they join defender Adrian Mariappa and two staff members who went into isolation after they tested positive in the Premier League’s first round of testing.
The Premier League announced earlier last week that 6 positive coronavirus cases across 3 clubs had been confirmed after 748 tests were carried out on players and non-playing staff.
Burnley confirmed that assistant manager Ian Woan also tested positive for Covid-19 and was to self-isolate for one week.
The Hornets captain Troy Deeney has not returned to training due to ongoing safety concerns.
