The number of positive coronavirus cases across the English Football League has fallen to 26 in the latest round of testing.
A total of 4,794 players and club staff from all 72 EFL clubs were tested from January 18-24, with 60 clubs returning no positive results.
The results show another drop in positive results, after last week's round of testing saw cases fall from 123 to 32.
Meanwhile, the Football Association revealed one positive case - a fall from 16 in the previous round - in the Women's Super League and Women's Championship following testing across the same period.
A total of 975 tests were carried out across the top two divisions in the women's game.

The Football Association, Premier League, English Football League released a joint statement earlier this month reiterating the importance of following newly enhanced Covid-19 measures.
"The Football Association, Premier League, EFL and Barclays Women's Super League have this week introduced enhanced COVID-19 measures and stressed their importance to everyone in the game," the statement said.
"Safety is a collective effort and football requires the ongoing support of clubs, managers, players and all those involved in staging matches to continue to manage the spread of infection and set the right example to the public on and off the pitch. We will offer guidance, education and support as well as reviewing our practices to ensure they remain of the highest standard.
"Our three organisations have confidence in our COVID-19 protocols and our ability to bring the season to a successful conclusion."
