Wolves have become the first Premier League club to install a drive-through coronavirus testing station for their players at their training ground.


Manager Nuno Espirito Santo and his players returned to Compton for individual sessions last week.

It is understood Wolves players are yet to use the procedure but backroom staff have been tested.

The Premier League hopes the process becomes the template for other clubs across the top flight.

The procedure is carried out in the car park of Wolves' training ground and takes less than a minute.

The Premier League is hoping to resume the season on 12 June but a number of club doctors have raised concerns with league bosses.

If training resumes before social distancing rules are relaxed, it is understood players will be tests for coronavirus twice a week and would be screened for symptoms everyday.
