- All clubs set to face extra testing from January
- EFL clubs ‘reviewing and further strengthening’ protocols
Premier League players in tier 4 areas will be tested for Covid-19 twice a week as soon as it is practically possible to do so.
Players in the top flight have been tested on a weekly basis since the start of the 2020-21 season. But testing at clubs in tier 4 areas will revert to the level used during Project Restart in the summer. The increased testing will be widened out to clubs in lower-tier areas from next month, it is understood.
