The Premier League is following with concern the anti-coronavirus tests of its teams on the eve of the 17th round of the English Championship which will be played between Tuesday and Thursday this week.
After Tottenham (7th), which could not play against Brighton (11th) on Sunday, and Leicester (8th) – teams due to face each other on Thursday – Manchester United (5th) and Aston Villa (13th) registered cases of covid-19 between players and coaching staff.
However, the inaccuracy in the number of positives in their rosters increased fears.
