A third Brighton player has tested positive for Coronavirus.

The unnamed player, who will now self-isolate for 14 days, was tested on Saturday - two other players tested positive earlier in
the pandemic.

Brighton players have been training individually at the training ground and the club say this will be allowed to continue.

Premier League clubs are due to meet on Monday for more discussions about their proposed Project Restart plan.

"It is a concern," Brighton Chief Executive Paul Barber told SkySports.

"Despite all of the measures that we've been taking over the past few weeks, where the players haven't been involved in any significant training at all, we've still suffered another another player testing positive for the virus."

Responding to the news of the Brighton player, Norwich's 22-year old midfielder Todd Cantwell tweeted: "we are just people too." 👇
