Nine players positive but none from Luton in latest round of coronavirus testing

Luton Town have confirmed once more that none of their players have tested positive for coronavirus following the latest round of testing.

The EFL announced last night that from the 1,094 players and staff from the 24 Championship clubs who were tested over the course of Saturday 30 May, Sunday 31 May, Monday 1 June and Tuesday 2 June, only nine were positive.

Preston North End and Sheffield Wednesday have confirmed they each have one person who returned a positive test, who will now self-isolate in line with the guidelines provided by the EFL and only those who have tested negative will be permitted to enter training ground facilities.

A tweet from the Hatters' official Twitter page said: "These are the latest @EFL testing results.

"We can confirm that all tests at LTFC were once again negative."

More than 4,000 tests on players and staff have been carried out in the Championship since May 21, with 24 individuals testing positive.

So far, Preston, Sheffield Wednesday, Cardiff, Middlesbrough, Blackburn, Fulham and Hull City are the only clubs to have confirmed positive tests.

Meanwhile, the EFL will decide on Tuesday just how the rest of the season in the Championship and below will conclude after it was suspended indefinitely back in March.

A statement release yesterday said: "The EFL Board met today and considered a number of proposals submitted by EFL Clubs in respect of proposed amendments to EFL Regulations in order to determine what will happen in the event the 2019/20 season is curtailed in any EFL Division.

"This now brings an end to a comprehensive consultation phase and Clubs have today received formal notice of the meeting which will now take place on Tuesday 9 June 2020.

"At that meeting Clubs will consider a number of different proposals from both Clubs and the Board of the EFL."
