(Sky News) The Premier League has confirmed 18 positive coronavirus tests among players and staff in its latest round of testing – the highest figure of the season so far.
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.
