Premier League Records 18 New Cases Of Covid-19

Must read

The Premier League has confirmed 18 positive covid-19 tests among players and staff in its latest round of testing.

This is the highest figure recorded since the start of the season.

A total of 1,479 players and club staff members were tested between December 21-27; the 18 people who have tested positive are self-isolating.

Hours after the Premier League released the latest figures on Tuesday, it emerged that Fulham’s game at Tottenham on Wednesday evening is in doubt after a number of coronavirus cases were recorded by the west London side.

Fulham are now in talks with the Premier League, whose board must approve any postponements.

Scott Parker – who missed Fulham’s previous game due to a member of his household testing positive – said there were no issues with his squad’s fitness on Tuesday ahead of their game on Wednesday.

However, the Fulham boss’s press conference was held before the latest testing results were confirmed.

If the fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is called off, it will become the third Premier League game to be cancelled because of coronavirus this season.

Manchester City’s trip to Everton on Monday was postponed hours before kick-off due to multiple positive cases within the City camp, while Aston Villa vs Newcastle was called off earlier this month after the Magpies were hit by the virus.
