France’s Premier League players expected to be available for league opener

France’s Premier League stars are expected to be available for the opening weekend of the season despite international team-mate Steve Mandanda testing positive for coronavirus.

Tottenham players Hugo Lloris and Moussa Sissoko are currently away on international duty where former Crystal Palace keeper Mandanda, 35, left France’s camp at Clairefontaine on Friday morning after receiving a positive test result.

The rest of the squad will continue to undergo testing throughout the camp, though should all come back negative it is anticipated that the Premier League representatives within the squad will be able to return to their clubs next week ahead of the opening weekend of the campaign on Saturday 12.
