OXFORD United recorded a set of negative coronavirus tests ahead of tonight's game against Bristol Rovers.
The U's first-team squad were swabbed yesterday after Saturday's home fixture against Crewe Alexandra was postponed due to a positive result in the visitors' ranks.
Head coach Karl Robinson said he would wait until all tests had come back before naming his line-up for the visit of Rovers in the EFL Trophy.
United's manager has confirmed Cameron Brannagan is in line to play, while Nico Jones, Michael Elechi and Kyran Lofthouse will all be in the squad.
Tonight's game could come too early for Sam Winnall, Josh Ruffels and Alex Gorrin, but the trio could return from injury in the Sky Bet League One trip to Gillingham on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Kassam Stadium has been deep cleaned in preparation for tonight's game.
United's players followed 'protocol one' procedures at their training ground yesterday, meaning they could not enter the buildings and had to change, shower and eat at home.
The squad will be tested again on Thursday ahead of the Gillingham game.
