Bournemouth goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale says he was one of two individuals to test positive for coronavirus in the latest round of Premier League tests.
A total of 996 players and club staff were tested in thesecond round of testing last week. The other individual at a different club has not been named.
Eight people from Premier League clubs have tested positive after 1,744 tests.
Ramsdale, 22, who had tested negative last Monday, he was asymptomatic.
“It’s definitely a shock. I’ve not been in contact with anybody and I’ve now got it,” said the England Under-21 international, who will self-isolate for seven days.
“When you know you haven’t had it, and you’ve just been following the rules and only gone to the shop, that was obviously scary at first.”
The first round of testing included the positive tests of Watford defender Adrian Mariappa and Burnley assistant manager Ian Woan.
The results of the third round of coronavirus tests results are expected to be made public on Wednesday.
Squads started non-contact training last Tuesday for the first time since the Premier League was suspended on 13 March because of the pandemic, with 92 fixtures remaining.
