Eight West Ham players show coronavirus symptoms and are now in solitary confinement. The club's vice-president, Karren Brady, said it by pointing out that "fortunately they show mild symptoms". The Hammers are the last Premier League club to be affected by the pandemic. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi - both now recovered - and several Leicester players have tested positive for the virus.
West Ham players train at home and the club hopes to resume regular sessions after the blockade is closed until April 13 in Britain, while the Premier League season is suspended until at least April 30. In an interview with Sun Brady he hopes that the season can resume and come to an end, even if the games were to be played behind closed doors until July.
