Cobblers get the all-clear in latest round of coronavirus testing

Cobblers have been given the all-clear in the second round of coronavirus testing with no player or staff member returning a positive result.

The club confirmed: "Following the most recent round of Covid 19 testing that took place on Tuesday, we are pleased to confirm that all of Northampton Town players and staff tested negative.

"The squad are continuing to train in preparation for the play-offs in accordance with the EFL's return to training protocol."

Cobblers' three play-off rivals, Exeter City, Colchester United and Cheltenham Town, were also all given a clean bill of health.

The EFL said: "Following the latest round of COVID-19 testing, the EFL can confirm that 126 players and club staff were tested from four League Two clubs over the course of Saturday 30 May, Sunday 31 May, Monday 1 June and Tuesday 2 June, with zero individuals testing positive.

"Those players or club staff who have tested positive will now self-isolate in line with the guidelines provided by the EFL and only those who have tested negative will be permitted to enter training ground facilities."

Cobblers physio Ignacio Herrando remains in self-isolation following his positive test last week.
