'It's stressful, difficult and disruptive': Wolves boss Nuno Espirto Santo calls for quicker coronavirus test results after West Ham fiasco

Nuno Espirito Santo has called for coronavirus test results to be made available to clubs more quickly to avoid a repeat of the fiasco at West Ham this week.

Hammers boss David Moyes and players Issa Diop and Josh Cullen were found to have tested positive 70 minutes before their Carabao Cup tie with Hull on Tuesday — but the game still went ahead after the trio left the ground and were replaced in the team, with Moyes’ assistant Alan Irvine taking charge.

Moyes will be absent when West Ham meet Wolves on Sunday as he will still be isolating, but Wolves boss Nuno warned that similar problems lay ahead unless the testing system is improved.
