Shortly thereafter, last year's Champions League finalist Tottenham communicated that the confirmed case came from their club.

"We have been informed by the Premier League that we have received a positive test for covid-19 after the latest testing at our training center," the London club writes on Twitter.

If it is a player is not revealed. Tottenham further writes on its website that the infected, unnamed, person is symptom free and will be isolated for seven days before being re-tested.

Due to the corona pandemic, the Premier League has been on hold since March, but the plan is for the season to resume on June 17. So far, 13 people have tested positive for covid-19 in the Premier League.
