Manchester United News: Few players and staff sent home after getting Covid positive

In the latest Manchester United News, the club has notified the Premier League that they are the latest club to face an outbreak of Covid-19. A number of players and staff returned positive during their routine covid test on Sunday morning; and were sent home from training. Now the club fears about the outbreak which could spread even further; resulting in Tuesday's Premier League trip to Brentford in serious reconsideration.

What is the Update?

The whole team and crew were tested negative during their routine tests when they traveled to Norwich on Saturday.

However, in the latest Manchester United News, a new round of lateral flow testing on Sunday morning returned a small number of positive tests among players and staff. Those who have been tested positive are sent home, with the Premier League informed of the situation. And those who remained outdoors with the training schedule adjusted to individual and non-contact sessions.

What will happen next?

As for the next step, the players and staff who were tested positive on Sunday morning; are to wait for the results of their next PCR tests.

In July, the club had a Covid scare when nine players and staff recorded positive lateral flow tests; which forced the cancellation of a pre-season friendly against Preston North End. However, PCR tests came back negative and the initial results were negative.
