Brighton boss Porter: 3-4 players in the first team tested positive for covid-19

According to reporter Henry Tomlinson, Brighton coach Graham Porter confirmed that three or four players in the first team tested positive for the new crown.

The team is currently preparing for the league with Wolves, and players who test positive for covid-19 will not be able to play. Previously, due to the outbreak of the epidemic in the Tottenham hottest team, the league that was scheduled to be brighton against Tottenham Hotspur on the 12th Beijing time was postponed.

Porter said: "In terms of the outbreak in Tottenham, it is clear that when you hear the news you should understand that it is about the safety and health of everyone, I support the decision to postpone the game and we are currently preparing for the match against Wolves. ”

"We'll have as many as nine people out against Wolves, partly because of injuries; on the other hand, we have players who have tested positive for COVID-19 in our team, and there are three or four players in the situation at the moment, and that's something we have to face and deal with. In that regard, it will be a test for the team, but from another point of view, it also gives some players a chance. ”

Brighton currently faces a "triple conundrum" of player injuries, suspensions and covid-19, but there is currently no discussion with Wolves whether to postpone the league extension.

Porter said: "We haven't talked about whether the game will be postponed at the moment. For the epidemic, I believe that everyone will do a good job of monitoring and testing to avoid its infection, and avoid these happenings on the field. This is a clear health concern, but it also comes with the risk of spreading to other teams. We now have to do what we can, control (the number of people testing positive for COVID-19) at a low value. We've done some testing today and will decide whether to do it again tomorrow based on the results, and we just want to make sure there's no proliferation or something more serious than it is now. ”
