Following the latest round of COVID-19 testing, the EFL can confirm that 1030 players and Club staff have been tested over the course of Monday 25, Tuesday 26 and Wednesday 27 May, with three individuals testing positive from two Clubs.

Those players or Club staff who have tested positive will now self-isolate in line with the guidelines provided by the EFL and only those who have tested negative will be permitted to enter training ground facilities.

The EFL will continue to make regular and relevant announcements as appropriate in respect of the testing programme to support competition integrity and transparency.

No specific details as to Clubs or individuals will be provided by the League.

Please note;

Accuracy of testing provided is not 100% accurate but is in line with Government guidelines and NHS standards.
These are private tests and will not have any impact on NHS testing resources or prevent other individuals from testing
There is no cost to the UK taxpayer for testing of EFL players and staff. Clubs will cover the costs of testing.
Every player or member of staff who attends the training ground, prior to entering the site, must complete a screening protocol to detect any symptoms in a manner devised by the Club Doctor.
Players and staff will also be required to complete a daily medical questionnaire submitted before arrival at the training ground on training days. If this is not submitted before arrival, access to the training ground will be denied.

Just heard on 5 Live that three Charlton players have made themselves not available for training/games as well.

Just heard on 5 Live that three Charlton players have made themselves not available for training/games as well.

Yes, I heard that too. Bowyer seemed somewhat resigned to losing a few players.
Not heard anything from City. Assume that is good news but would like to hear how trainings going. Is Tomlin fit? Etc
These handful of games will I suspect throw up surprise results. Still everything to play for imo.
