Four players or coaches have returned positive tests for coronavirus in the Premier League's latest round of testing, it has been confirmed.
Premier League players and staff are tested once a week per the League's regulations around Covid-19, and those who have returned a positive result must isolate for ten days.
Chelsea confirmed last week that £71million summer signing, Kai Havertz, had contracted the virus and was in isolation, meaning he sat out the weekend's win over Sheffield United.

"Players or club staff who have tested positive will self-isolate for a period of ten days.
