Championship: Six positive results in latest round of coronavirus tests

Six people have tested positive for coronavirus from the latest round of testing in the Championship, it has been revealed.

The English Football League confirmed the latest testing figures from tests of 1,192 players and staff taken on Sunday 7 June, Monday 8 June and Tuesday 9 June.

Six individuals, players or staff, from four clubs saw results come back positive.

Those players or staff will now self-isolate in line with the EFL guidelines.

They will then have to post a negative test to return to training ground facilities and stadia.

The Championship is set to resume on 20 June with Fulham kicking the restarted season off against Brentford at Craven Cottage.

League leaders Leeds will then resume their promotion campaign at Cardiff on Sunday 21 June.

The EFL also confirmed that two people in League One and zero in League Two tested positive for the virus in their latest round of testing.

Clubs in both leagues agreed to end the 2019/20 seasons with immediate effect on Tuesday.
