Newcastle’s players will return to training on Tuesday following the postponement of last Friday’s game against Aston Villa because of a rise in Covid-19 cases.
United’s Darsley Park training headquarters had been closed as a result of the rise, which led to the first Premier League fixture this season being postponed because of to the pandemic.
In a statement on Twitter, the Premier League club wrote: “United’s players will train at the Training Centre today following a temporary closure last week due to a rise in Covid-19 cases. Those who had tested positive will follow relevant protocols before returning. Thanks for your messages of support to our players and staff.”
Players and staff who were tested on Sunday have undergone another round of checks as medics work to identify the source of the outbreak, with the return of squad members following last month’s international break understood to be a focus.
Newcastle, who are due to face West Brom at St James’ Park on Saturday, have not identified those affected or confirmed the number of cases. The outbreak is believed to have reached double figures.
