The EFL provides update on when Blackpool, Fleetwood Town and their League One rivals can return to training

The EFL previously advised clubs not to return to training until May 25 at the earliest.

But because no widespread testing programme is underway in the third tier, League One clubs have been told small group training is not currently permitted.

However, clubs have been told they can make their training ground pitches available for "individual socially-distanced training sessions" as long as they adhere to government advice.

Should League One clubs vote to continue with the 2019/20 campaign, a widespread testing programme - which has already been used for the Championship - will be put into place.

Championship players have been tested for coronavirus over the course of the past two days.

Results will be made public on Sunday, although this will be done anonymously and the EFL will not release individual club data.

The EFL will announce the number of tests undertaken and how many players, if any, have tested positive.

"The EFL has commissioned Nationwide Pathology to support the testing of EFL players and staff as part of the first phase of its RTT protocols, with initial testing for players, coaching and backroom staff in the EFL Championship commencing on Thursday, May 21 and continuing throughout Friday, May 22," the EFL said in a statement.

"There will be a flexible approach to testing, with a combination of procedures conducted by independent testers, club medical staff and some self-testing as required.

"The accuracy of these tests is aligned with Government guidelines and, for the avoidance of any doubt, availability to clubs will not impact NHS testing resources or prevent other individuals from receiving a test as required.

"The health, wellbeing and safety of EFL players, managers and staff has been at the forefront of the League’s discussions, scenario planning and decision making throughout this process and we will continue to consult with medical experts to ensure this is maintained as circumstances evolve."
