Aston Villa have become the latest club to be affected by the rising coronavirus levels in England, recording a number of positive cases.

The Midlands outfit have confirmed that an unspecified number of people working at their training ground have tested positive for COVID-19.

One member of Steven Gerrard's playing staff has been confirmed amongst those who tested positive, and Villa have now taken precautions to deal with the outbreak.

Sunday's training session did not take place at Bodymoor Heath, with the club opting to cancel it as they look to stop a further spread taking place.

Aston Villa competed against Liverpool at the weekend, which has caused some concern, although there are no cases from Jurgen Klopp's side.

The Villans are due to face Norwich City on Tuesday and, that game is still expected to go ahead.
