The player, whose name is kept anonymous, will now be in home quarantine for two weeks. The player tested positive on Saturday, reports the BBC. Earlier during the corona pandemic, two players have been infected in Graham Potter's Brighton. He was former coach of Östersunds FK. 

- It's alarming. Despite all the precautions we have taken in recent weeks and that the players hardly trained at all, we happen to have another player tested positive for the virus, says Brighton chairman Paul Barber.

The club does not consider that players need to go into collective quarantine as they have only trained individually.

Premier League meeting today

On Monday, May 11, the clubs will meet to discuss when the league can start again. One of the suggestions is to play the matches in neutral arenas. Brighton's chairman has objected to this.

- At this critical time of the season, in our opinion, it is too much impact to play in neutral arenas. It threatens the integrity of the racing business, Chairman Paul Barber said.

Brighton is in 15th place in the tight bottom battle and has only two points down to direct relegation. The 20-team league has played 28-29 of 38 innings.
