Premier League ‘hit by 14 coronavirus cases from 12 clubs’ as stars return for pre-season #COVID19 #coronavirus #UK #pandemic #quarantine #PremierLeague #Football #Soccer
The Premier League has been hit by 14 new coronavirus cases from 12 different clubs as stars return for pre-season training.
As reports The Telegraph there are concerns that the positive tests have come from players returning from holidays abroad.
Liverpool were one of the sides believed to have recorded one positive test after they landed at their pre-season training camp in Austria on Saturday.
Eight clubs are still yet to return to training, with Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea and Wolves among them due to their European commitments.
Arsenal, Fulham, Burnley and West Brom have also not reported back yet.
Meanwhile Tottenham, Everton, Southampton, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Leicester, Newcastle, Sheffield United and Leeds have all returned.
Aston Villa and Brighton are the only two sides remaining but it is not known whether either has started their pre-season scheduling.
The positive cases have not been confirmed by the Premier League and it is expected that they will only release official figures once the 2020/21 campaign kicks off again.
A number of top-flight stars have spent the break jetting off on holiday, some of whom have met up in foreign locations.
Villa’s Jack Grealish was spotted partying with Leicester’s James Maddison and Tottenham’s Dele Alli in Ibiza.
Close friends Mason Mount of Chelsea and West Ham’s Declan Rice have also been holidaying together in Mykonos, Greece.
It is not certain that the positive tests are a result of players enjoying their time off outside of the UK.
However it is an alarming number given only 30 tests came back positive during Project Restart out of approximately 35,000 which were administered.
Testing is set to continue throughout the pre-season campaign and beyond, with the Community Shield curtain raiser arranged for August 29, with the Premier League campaign kicking off two weeks later.

Hurricane Genevieve Rapidly Strengthens to a Category 4 in the East Pacific; Tropical Storm Warning For Baja California #Hurricane #Genevieve #Category4 #EastPacific #BajaCalifornia #Mexico
Hurricane Genevieve rapidly intensified off the Pacific coast of Mexico and it could bring tropical storm conditions to parts of Baja California.
Genevieve became the second Category 4 hurricane of the eastern Pacific season on Tuesday. Its maximum sustained winds increased from 75 mph to 130 mph in the 21 hours ending 6 a.m. MDT on Tuesday. That easily met the rapid intensification criteria for a hurricane, an increase in wind speed of at least 35 mph in 24 hours or less.
The forecast track for Genevieve takes the center of the hurricane just west of the southern tip of Baja California, including Los Cabos, later Wednesday through Thursday. This track could spread at least some bands of rain and gusty winds into the southern Baja during that time.
A tropical storm warning has been issued for the southern part of Baja California, including Cabo San Lucas. The National Hurricane Center says tropical storm conditions (winds 40 mph or greater) are expected in the warning area by Wednesday afternoon and could continue into Thursday, particularly over higher terrain areas.
Genevieve could also spread some locally heavy rainfall into the southern Baja. Rainfall totals of 1 to 4 inches are possible in some areas.
High surf from Genevieve is also expected to spread from the southern coast of Mexico to Baja California through midweek. Eventually, swells generated by Genevieve could reach Southern California by this weekend.
There is also a chance Genevieve could send a surge of moisture into the Southwest late this week or over the weekend. That might lead to an uptick in thunderstorm chances over the higher terrain of southern California and Arizona.
