West Ham’s joint-chairman David Sullivan has revealed that all West Ham players were tested three times a week in pre-season and are now tested once per week.
He told Jim White on Talksport this morning that the players were tested on Monday but the results were only received between 6.30 pm and 6.45 pm last night resulting in late changes to the team and two players and the managers being sent home.
He said the whole team will bee tested today to see if West Ham has any more casualties. Sullivan said the players are fine apart from slight sore throats explaining David Moyes has had one for a couple of days but put it down to the shouting he says on the training pitch, Diop and Cullen also have sore throats the chairman added.
The Co-owner said Moyes, Issa Diop and Josh Cullen were all re-tested last night in the slim hope that the test results were false positives.
He confirmed all three will need to self isolate for ten days and Diop will be a big miss for the team on Sunday against Wolves.

Covid 19 could be the best manager weve had for years
What an absolute plum. Not only has he pretty much denied responsibility for everything that’s happened at the club, but he’s thrown Moyes and the previous management team under the bus while doing it. Gotta hand it to the guy.
Plus, is he really complaining about winning a Cup game that has resulted in having to spend 50k on flying the team to Everton or Fleetwood? We spunk double that per week on Wilshere’s wages. David, if you really feel aggrieved over spending 50 grand, you clearly haven’t got the will (or the means) to spend any serious money on West Ham. Just go.
