Stevenage FC have confirmed two more players have tested positive for Covid.

The news comes after the club opted to test all players and management on Friday, following a positive test on an unnamed player on Thursday.

However, after consultation between Boro and EFL medical staff, today's match against Bradford City at Valley Parade will go ahead as scheduled.

Chairman Phil Wallace said: "We feel we did the right thing testing everyone. It changed our travel plans but we're happy we've got clarity on our position, are able to play the game and look forward to taking on Bradford today.

"I believe every club needs to get weekly testing in place going forward to reduce the chances of a sudden surge in infection rates and we have to find a way to pay for this that doesn't cause even more financial damage to clubs."
