Newcastle: Premier League club to reopen training centre after positive Covid-19 tests

Newcastle's match at Aston Villa was the first Premier League fixture postponed because of Covid-19 since last season resumed in June. Steve Bruce's side, 13th in the table, are scheduled to host West Bromwich Albion on Saturday and can now train again from Tuesday.

Newcastle United players will report for training at the club's training centre on Tuesday, a week after it was closed because several players and staff tested positive for Covid-19.

The rising number of positive cases forced Newcastle to lodge a request to postpone last Friday's league match at Aston Villa which was approved by the Premier League Board.

"Newcastle United's players will train at the training centre today following a temporary closure last week due to a rise in Covid-19 cases," the club said in a statement.
