Millwall chief executive Steve Kavanagh and other senior Lions officials who came into contact with Evangelos Marinakis have started a period of self-isolation.

After Marinakis announced he had tested positive for coronavirus, Millwall board members who were at the game on Friday will be staying at home as a precaution.

Millwall have confirmed none of their directors have displayed any symptoms.

Coronavirus could yet wreak havoc with the EFL fixture list but, as per government advice, Millwall players will continue to train as normal under Gary Rowett as they did not come into contact with Marinakis.

“Millwall can confirm that senior club representatives who came into contact with Mr Marinakis last Friday have all begun a period of self-isolation, as per government advice,” said the south London club in a statement.

“This is purely a precautionary measure and no individual has displayed any symptoms. The club will continue to follow all necessary guidance from the appropriate bodies.”

Millwall, who are just outside the Championship play-off places, play Derby at the Den on Saturday.
