Brentford manager Thomas Frank has tested positive for Covid-19.
He's one of two people to return positive results in the latest round of testing at the club.
The news comes just days after he was in the dugout for his side's 2-0 loss to José Mourinho's Spurs in the Carabao Cup.
A statement from the club on Friday afternoon said that Frank will isolate at home for ten days under EFL and Government regulations.
The statement also confirmed that Brentford coach Neil MacFarlane will take charge of the team for their FA Cup game against Middlesbrough on Saturday.
