Hamilton Academical have confirmed three employees are self-isolating after they tested positive for coronavirus.

The statement from the Scottish Premiership club does not reveal whether the individuals are players or members of the backroom team.

Defender Lee Hodson, who joined Accies on loan from Gillingham this summer, is already self-isolating after his housemate - St Mirren goalkeeper Jak Alnwick - returned a positive test last week.

First-team training and activities involving the academy set-up were suspended on Tuesday. Players and staff will return to training on Thursday after the FOYS Stadium has been deep cleaned.

Meanwhile, testing scheduled for Friday has been brought forward to Thursday.

The club are awaiting further test results that may determine if any other players or staff need to isolate.
