Watford defender Adrian Mariappa who has links to Fiji has confirmed that he has tested positive for COVID.

Mariappa whose father is from Fiji is one of three players at the club who has tested positive for the virus.

The 33-year old was named in an extended training squad for 2011 Pacific Games but he did not accept the call-up.

He later opted to represent Jamaica which is the birthplace of his mother.

The positive results came as squads started non-contact training yesterday with the English Premier League stepping up plans for a restart.

92 fixtures remain to be played.

The English Premier League had previously identified 12th June for matches to possibly start again but there is now an expectation this will need to be pushed back.
