'I'll be amazed if nobody tests positive': Jamie Carragher insists it is inevitable players WILL test positive for COVID-19 upon return to small group training... but says it is not something to 'get hysterical' about

Jamie Carragher admits he will 'be amazed' if players 'up and down the country' don't test positive for coronavirus following a return to small group training.

All 20 Premier League clubs voted at a meeting on Monday to sanction a return to phase one of training on Tuesday, with players in groups of five and socially distancing in the session.

Each team will have a COVID-19 officer on site and there will also be regular tests for players, coaches and club staff to ensure the virus does not spread.

But for Carragher, he thinks there is an inevitability to positive tests emerging 'up and down the country' but that any positive tests should not be met with hysteria.
