Premier League club Norwich City revealed that one of their players has tested positive for the coronavirus, one of two positive results in the latest round of testing ahead of the season's restart on June 17. The league said earlier on Saturday that two people from different clubs had tested positive for Covid-19 out of a sample of 1,200 individuals. Norwich said in a statement the player would self-isolate for seven days before being tested again. "The club will not name the player in question and asks that his request for privacy and confidentiality are respected at this time," Norwich said. The results continue a trend of low positive results since the <a href="https://www.thenational.ae/sport/football/premier-league-to-resume-contact-training-as-big-restart-from-coronavirus-lockdown-edges-closer-1.1025458">return to training last month</a>.
