Tottenham have announced someone from the club has tested positive for coronavirus following the Premier League's latest round of screening.
However they haven't named the individual, who they say is asymptomatic and will now have to go into isolation, which would likely rule them out of the first round of fixtures later this month.
"We have been informed by the Premier League that we have received one positive test for COVID-19 following the latest round of testing at our Training Centre," Tottenham said in a statement.
"Due to medical confidentiality, the individual’s name will not be disclosed. They are currently asymptomatic and will now self-isolate for seven days, in line with Premier League protocol, before undergoing further testing.
"We shall continue to strictly adhere to the Premier League’s Return to Training protocol, which ensures our Training Centre remains a safe and virus-free working environment."
This was the fifth round of coronavirus testing for Premier League clubs with 13 positive tests coming from the 5,079 carried out so far.
Teams will continued to be screened twice a week ahead of the English top-flight resuming on June the 17th.
"The Premier League can today confirm that on Monday 1 June and Tuesday 2 June, 1197 players and club staff were tested for COVID-19. Of these, one has tested positive from one club," the Premier League said of the latest test results.
"Players or club staff who test positive will now self-isolate for a period of seven days.
"The Premier League is providing this aggregated information for the purposes of competition integrity and transparency. No specific details as to clubs or individuals will be provided by the League and results will be made public after each round of testing."
