Premier League stars James Maddison, Harvey Barnes and Hamza Choudhury will have their bosses at Leicester sweating after they were among a 3,000-strong crowd at the World Championship darts on Saturday night.
Darts star Michael van Gerwen, who was ruled out of the tournament after contracting the virus, described the event at Alexandra Palace as a 'Covid bomb' but it continues to go ahead.
Bosses bullishly defended the popular PDC event this week amid calls for it to be abandoned due to rising cases among players and with Premier League matches continually falling to Covid, Maddison, Choudhury and Barnes' trip will likely concern those back at Leicester.
