The Premier League have revealed 40 positive coronavirus results in the latest round of testing - more than double the previous week.
The latest set of figures come amid an alarming rise in coronavirus cases in the UK, with Boris Johnson revealing a brutal new lockdown will come into effect to keep the mutant strain at bay.
Last week's Premier League testing saw 18 positive results come back - which was the highest weekly figure since Project Restart.
