Burnley’s assistant manager Ian Woan is one of the six individuals who tested positive for COVID 19 during the tests conducted by the premier league before launching the first phase of “project restart.” Top-flight teams voted unanimously to step up their return to action at Monday’s shareholder’s meeting, allowing players to train in small, socially-distant session as part of phase one. Covid-19 tests were conducted across Sunday and Monday as part of the league’s partnership with the Prenetics consortium, with the Premier League confirming six individuals have tested positive for the disease.
