Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend claims the latest coronavirus test results is encouraging players to become increasingly keen for a return to contact training.
Players and officials have voiced concern about the Premier League's plans for Project Restart and the proposed resumption of matches next month amid the threat of contracting coronavirus.
The second round of testing at top-flight clubs this week returned two positive samples from 996 taken to give a total of eight positives from 1,744 tests conducted across two rounds.
And Townsend feels the fact that positive tests are not spreading within squads is a hugely positive sign with the Premier League determined for clubs to restart full-contact training next week.
