The exact number of infected players in the Orient team is not known. However, the authorities closed the stadium and training facilities to the club on Monday. The first positive tests appeared on the weekend. The management of the English Football League (EFL), which organizes the competition, is now awaiting the outcome of negotiations between the club and the hygienists.
