Coronavirus testing has reportedly revealed a positive result at one of Leeds United's fellow Championship clubs, after a return to full-contact training.

According to the Daily Mail, Preston North End held a squad match today at their Springfields training ground, before the latest round of coronavirus results came back and revealed a positive test among Alex Neil's squad.

It has not yet been confirmed if the player in question took part in today's session.

Government guidelines say that anyone who comes into contact with the virus should self-isolate for 14 days. The EFL's provisional date for the Championship restart is the weekend of June 20.

Preston confirmed their first positive test on Saturday and striker Jayden Stockley is now self-isolating, but the second player to test positive has not yet been named.

Leeds United, who have thus far not had a positive test, received EFL approval to begin reintroducing players to full contact training this morning and began stepping up their preparations for a return to action.
