Nottingham Forest's Championship rivals test negative in coronavirus results - reports

The Millwall players and staff have been tested for coronavirus and all results have come back negative, according to reports.

Nottingham Forest faced Millwall in their last Sky Bet Championship clash earlier this month, where Reds owner Evangelos Marinakis was in attendance, four days before being diagnosed with COVID-19.

The Forest players and staff, who came into contact with Marinakis, were tested for the virus last week and all returned negative results.

Now the Millwall players and staff have been tested for COVID-19, and have all all come back clear, according to Richard Cawley of South London Press.

The report adds that the Millwall players are due to return to training on Wednesday, but “non-essential” training round staff will not be present.

As of 10.30am on March 16, Millwall are yet to release at statement confirming the test results.

On Friday, the EFL announced that all professional football in England will be suspended until April 3, after holding an emergency meeting due to the coronavirus outbreak.

This would mean that Forest are not due back in action until April 4, at the earliest, where they are due to face arch rivals Derby County at Pride Park Stadium.
