10 Premier League players or staff members returned a positive result for COVID-19 in the latest round of testing.
The number of positive tests looks to be on the rise, after there were three or four positives in each of the last three weeks.
The recent results put it at the highest number of positive results announced by the Premier League after a round of testing so far.
West Ham’s trio of David Moyes, Issa Diop, and Josh Cullen, which the club announced last Tuesday night also made up for the recent figures.
A statement reads: “The Premier League can today confirm that between Monday 21 September and Sunday 27 September, 1,595 players and club staff were tested for COVID-19.
“Of these, there were 10 new positive tests.
“Players or club staff who have tested positive will self-isolate for a period of 10 days.”
