- Burnley assistant manager one of 748 players and staff tested
- League buoyed by results as it aims for late-June restart
The Premier League has been buoyed in its attempts to complete the season, after only six of 748 players and staff tested positive for Covid-19. The Burnley assistant manager, Ian Woan, was on Tuesday night confirmed as one of the six.
A first round of results from 19 clubs provided welcome news for the league. With the testing system in operation clubs started to return to training on Tuesday, albeit while observing physical distancing. The low rate of positive results will add heft to the league’s attempts to persuade players that theirs is a safe environment in which to return to work.
