The Premier League conducted 748 tests on players and staff on Sunday and Monday as part of their bid to restart matches in June

Burnley assistant manager Ian Woan, one unnamed Watford player and two members of the Vicarage Road staff tested positive in the first batch of medical checks.

“I can just imagine people at home saying, ‘Well they earn that amount of money so they should be going back’. The 31-year-old had already made it clear he fears his family could be in danger because of figures that show black and ethnic minorities are more likely to become seriously ill with the virus.“Of those three positive tests, one is a player and two are members of staff. All three have asked that medical confidentiality be respected and, therefore, the club will not be naming those involved,” Watford said in a statement.
