Newcastle's training ground reopens after Covid-19 outbreak

Newcastle United's training ground has reopened after last week's outbreak of Covid-19 at the club.

The Magpies said players will train at Darsley Park on Tuesday after it had remained closed on Monday.

Their Premier League game at Aston Villa on Friday was postponed after a "significant increase" in cases.

Players were tested on Monday to assess numbers for Saturday's league game against West Bromwich Albion at St James' Park.

It is not yet known if that match will go ahead.

"Those who had tested positive will follow relevant protocols before returning," said Newcastle on social media.
