The EFL has confirmed a further 11 positive coronavirus cases following additional mandatory testing, bringing the total to 123 for the latest week of results.
On Friday, the EFL reported 112 positive tests from its strategic league-wide testing programme, but has since conducted further tests at six clubs.
The additional testing means a total of 4038 players and club staff were tested between January 4 and January 10. The results include zero positive tests from 31 EFL clubs.
Brentford are the latest club to be heavily impacted, with their next two Championship fixtures against Bristol City and Reading suspended after multiple positive cases, including manager Thomas Frank.
This week, the EFL moved to twice-weekly testing following multiple match postponements across the Championship, League One and League Two.
