No positive cases of COVID-19 were found in the six round of the Premier League's testing for coronavirus, English football's top flight confirmed on Saturday.

The Premier League tested 1,195 players and club staff on Thursday and Friday.

There had been 13 positive cases out of 5,079 tests across the previous five rounds of testing.

The Premier League has set June 17 as a provisional date for resuming the 2019-20 season, after all elite football games in England were suspended on March 13 due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

There are 92 Premier League games still to play this season, with the first two fixtures seeing Aston Villa host Sheffield United and Manchester City face Arsenal.
