The Premier League has had its first week-by-week decrease in positive Covid tests for eight weeks.
In the seven days up to and including 2 January, there were 94 new cases among Premier League players and staff, from a total of 14,250 tests.
That figure is down from a record 103 cases over the previous seven days.
Because of the impact of the Omicron variant, 17 English top-flight games have been postponed since the start of December.
That led to a return to emergency measures at the Premier League's 20 clubs, which has continued into 2022.
