Preston's preparations for their return have been hit because a player has tested positive for COVID-19 following their first contact training session on Tuesday.
The players were tested on Monday, but the results, which revealed the coronavirus case, were only made known after Preston’s first contact session yesterday.
The unnamed player will have to self-isolate for seven days. And the rest of the squad would have to remain at home for 14 days under the Government’s track and trace policy.
However football is being treated differently and Preston’s medical staff have the discretion to decide if any players were in prolonged close contact and need to self-isolate.
