The Premier League said on Thursday that there was one
positive result from the latest round of COVID-19 tests of players and staff
conducted earlier this week.
The league did not reveal the club or the name of the individual
who tested positive.
“The Premier League
can today confirm that on Monday 15 June and Tuesday 16 June, 1,541 players and
club staff were tested for COVID-19. Of these, one person has tested positive,”
the league said in a statement.
Since players returned to contact training last month, tests
have been carried out twice a week and the league has seen a total of 17
positives in nine rounds of testing so far.
The Premier League returned to action on Wednesday with two
matches after a 100-day hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Aston Villa and Sheffield United played out a controversial
goalless draw where United were denied a legitimate goal while Manchester City
beat Arsenal 3-0.
