Newcastle United's training ground was closed on Monday as the Premier League club attempts to deal with an outbreak of coronavirus.
Three players and one member of staff had tested positive. There have been reports of further cases at the club over the weekend according to manager Steve Bruce.
Newcastle United face a trip to Aston Villa on Friday and the club cannot confirm training on Thursday.
After his team's 2-0 win at Crystal Palace last Friday, Bruce admitted the situation had been "difficult to manage".
Captain Jamaal Lascelles, winger Allan Saint-Maximin, forward Andy Carroll and defender Emil Krafth were reported injured while midfielder Isaac Hayden missed that match with illnes.
The Premier League has reported 10 new cases of coronavirus this week, to Sunday, but does not say at which clubs they were diagnosed.
