Le club de Premier League de Wolverhampton a interdit samedi aux joueurs de son effectif de procéder eux-mêmes à leurs achats, notamment en supermarchés, en raison des risques de contagion liés à la nouvelle souche du Covid-19, alors que les infections progressent à travers l’Angleterre.
“We have to avoid any risk because we have a small squad and already have problems with some players who are unavailable,” Wolves coach Nuno Espirito Santo said ahead of the Tottenham meeting on Sunday.
"We have staff to do the shopping and go to the supermarkets for them," he added before assuring that he "could not afford to lose players" recommending his men not to " to relax ”and to be“ more careful ”still.

The club had already asked its players to avoid supermarkets during the first confinement between March and May 2020. Tests on players and members of the technical staff of Premier league clubs will double, or even be increased to two tests per week , especially in areas of the country placed at restriction level 4.
The last series of tests carried out on Monday in the Premier League revealed seven positive cases out of 1,569 tests carried out.
Manchester City have since confirmed 4 positive cases including striker Gabriel Jesus, defender Kyle Walker and two members of the staff.
