Ħamrun Spartans
are expected to resume their pre-season preparations on Wednesday after all
members of the first-team squad tested negative for COVID-19, the Premier League
club announced.
The Spartans
announced earlier this week that they had suspended all training activities after
it was revealed that the referee that officiated their friendly match against
Żejtun Corinthians last Friday had contracted COVID-19.
The club
subsequently ensured that all members of the first team and the technical staff
under went a swab test and results were published on Wednesday.
“The club would
like to inform that all the players and technical staff have been submitted to
swab tests on Tuesday,” the club said in a statement.
“Results have
just been issued and we are pleased to announce that all of our players and
members of the technical staff tested negative.”
The Spartans will now continue their pre-season preparations on Wednesday.
Mark Buttigieg’s men are expected to play a friendly against Gżira United at the Tedesco Stadium on Saturday.
