An unnamed Brighton player has tested positive for coronavirus but is “OK”, says chief executive Paul Barber.
Three Seagulls players underwent tests after showing symptoms of Covid-19, with one returning positive.
Barber, who was unwilling to name the individual, said he is “getting the care he needs” and testing was only being done “when symptoms emerged”.
Brighton is 15th in the Premier League, two points above the relegation zone with nine games remaining.
