No New Cases of Coronavirus at EFL Clubs
Championship
Of the three leagues that the EFL govern, the Championship is the only division in which all team’s are fulfilling the remaining fixture.
From the latest round of testing, 2798 players and club staff from all 24 Championship side’s were tested, with all results coming back negative.
Ahead of another busy round of fixtures, it is good news for the division. There are six more rounds of matches left to play.
League One
A ball hasn’t been kicked in League One in over four months and the EFL decided to curtail the season, ending it with a four-team playoff. This Friday sees the return of the division when the playoffs begin.
Oxford United travel to Portsmouth, while Fleetwood Town host Wycombe Wanderers.
The EFL tested 311 players and club staff from the four League One Clubs over the course of the past week, with all tests coming back negative. For Oxford and Portsmouth, it is good news as they have both previously received two positive tests from two individuals at the club last month.
League Two
Unlike the playoffs in League One which are just about to begin, the playoffs in League Two have already finished.
Northampton Town have won promotion to League One following a comprehensive 4-0 victory against Exeter City in the final at Wembley.
But, 154 players and club staff from four League Two clubs, including the beaten semi-finalists Colchester United and Cheltenham Town, all came back with negative tests.
