Hamilton suspend training after three positive coronavirus tests
Last updated 15th Sep 2020
Hamilton have suspended training today after three positive coronavirus test results.
The individuals involved will now self isolate in line with government guidelines while they deep clean the stadium.
The Accies hope they will return to normal business tomorrow with further tests for players and staff arranged.
A club spokesperson said: "Hamilton Academical FC can confirm three positive COVID-19 test results. Those affected will now self-isolate in line with Scottish Government & JRG guidelines for 10 days.
"As a precaution, first-team & academy operations have been suspended for today whilst we deep clean the building.
"We will return to normal business tomorrow with further tests planned for all players & staff. "
It is not yet clear if those who tested positive are first-team players, youth players or members of the backroom staff, but the news brings more concern to the Premiership outfit and Scottish football.
Defender Lee Hodson, on loan from Gillingham, missed Accies' 2-1 Premiership win over Livingston at the weekend as he had to self-isolate for 14 days after it emerged that he shares a house with St Mirren goalkeeper Jak Alnwick who tested positive last week.
Buddies' number two Dean Lyness also tested positive, while third-choice goalkeeper Peter Urminsky was also ruled out of the visit of Hibernian on Saturday as a precaution.
Saints signed Hearts goalkeeper Bobby Zlamal on an emergency loan on the morning of the game but he was unable to stop St Mirren losing 3-0.
