Premier League: Brighton manager Graham Potter says third player who contracted coronavirus is doing well

The third Brighton & Hove Albion player who tested positive for COVID-19 last week is “feeling good” and not showing symptoms, the Premier League club’s manager Graham Potter has said.

I spoke to him yesterday, no symptoms, so he’s feeling good,” Potter told reporters. “It’s a bit strange for him. He doesn’t like being in his house, self-isolating, but understands why he has to do it. “As you’d imagine, there is a bit of concern (from the other players), making sure he is OK, but he is — and so everybody is happy with that.” The league is in discussions to restart next month after the government on Thursday opened the door for professional football to resume. Clubs were told that an eventual resumption of matches would see them played in neutral venues but Brighton’s Glenn Murray said restarting the season should not be a priority while Britain’s death toll continues to rise. More than 229,000 people have been infected by the virus in the United Kingdom with over 33,000 dead.
