Norwich play Southampton on Friday and will therefore be without the quarantined player, who has asked not to be named for privacy reasons.

It is not yet clear which club is the home of the other positive test and whether it involves a player or a staff member.

This takes the total number of positive cases involving Premier League clubs to 16, with 7,474 tests having been conducted prior to the latest round.
