Marco Stiepermann will return to team training at Norwich tomorrow after being named as the player who tested positive for coronavirus.
The Canaries were informed of the positive test last Friday, the same day they played Tottenham in a friendly, but initially refused to disclose who it was.
The German midfielder has remained asymptomatic throughout and has since taken two further tests, with both returning negative results.
A club statement read: "Norwich City can confirm that the club have been granted permission by the Premier League for the first team player who initially tested positive for Covid-19 to return to team training.
"The player in question, Marco Stiepermann, who is now happy to be named, has remained asymptomatic throughout.
"After being informed of the positive test result on Friday evening, the player immediately followed the appropriate isolation procedure as detailed in the Premier League protocol.
"Whilst in self-isolation in his own home, Stiepermann has since taken two further tests, with both returning negative results.
"Following dialogue between the club and the Premier League, permission has been granted for Stiepermann to return to group training at the Lotus Training Centre on Thursday."
Norwich, who are bottom of the table, host Southampton on Friday in their first Premier League game since English football was suspended on 13 March.
Stiepermann posted on Instagram: "Hey guys,been a crazy few days. After receiving a positive COVID test result on Friday night, I've been in self-isolation. But today I received the news that I can return to training tomorrow after two negative test results! A reminder that this virus is unpredictable and still unknown. Stay safe and thank you for the support. 🙏🏻✌🏼💪🏼"
Premier League fans could be able to return to stadiums at the start of next season, according to UK Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden.
"I would really hope that by the return of the new season we might be in a position whereby some fans could start to return to stadiums," he said at the Downing Street daily briefing.
"And I know that would be another important part of restoring the financial position of clubs."
Dowden said the outdoor element meant it was possible sports stadiums could reopen before theatres.
