Leyton Orient have confirmed that an unnamed first-team player has tested positive for coronavirus.
The player in question had begun to show mild symptoms consistent with Covid-19 and was immediately placed in self-isolation.
Testing has since confirmed that he has contracted the virus, with the remainder of the first-team squad now entering a further seven days of self-isolation.
“It is obviously a huge concern of everyone’s that a case like this has been reported, and of course it is a worry that it has impacted one of our players and our club directly,” said head coach Ross Embleton.
“The positive for us is that the symptoms have not got any worse and the player in question is improving everyday.”
“It is vital that we continue to follow the guidelines and isolate for another week in order to give the virus the time to pass.”
