Covid-19 cases

The Premier League has confirmed there were nine positive Covid-19 tests across the division in two rounds of testing last week. They have also revealed that twice-weekly testing will continue for the time being for Leeds United and their top flight rivals. Read more HERE. The Premier League have also informed fans that there will be Covid-19 spot-checks at games, beginning this weekend. Fans are urged to prepare to show they have been fully vaccinated or have received a negative lateral flow test in the previous 48 hours.

All quiet

It's all quiet on the transfer front, for now. Leeds have expressed interest in Huddersfield Town's Lewis O'Brien but the two clubs did not reach a deal and Kinnear says there's currently no movement on that one.
