- Plans for new Premiership season plunged into disarray
- Leicester’s international players not thought to be affected
Leicester’s preparations for the new Premiership season have been plunged into disarray after a Covid-19 outbreak forced the Tigers to shut down their training ground.
The club will undergo an emergency round of testing on Friday after several players and staff tested positive, two weeks before the campaign is set to begin. Earlier in the week Premiership Rugby announced 17 positive cases from eight clubs and Leicester’s outbreak raises the prospect of the start to the season being severely disrupted.
