Liverpool Winger Sadio Mane tests positive for Coronavirus
Senegalese Footballer, and Liverpool Winger Sadio Mané has tested positive for COVID-19. This was confirmed by the club on Friday evening just days after Center midfielder Thiago Alcantara tested positive for the virus.
A club statement released on Friday read: “Sadio Mane has tested positive for COVID-19 and is currently self-isolating according to the necessary guidelines. The forward, who started and scored in Monday’s 3-1 victory over Arsenal, has displayed minor symptoms of the virus but feels in good health overall.
“However, like with Thiago Alcantara, Liverpool Football Club are – and will continue to – follow all protocols relating to COVID-19 and Mane will self-isolate for the required period of time.”
The presence of two positive tests in a short timeframe may cause some concern at Melwood, where a lot of work has been done to minimise any chance of an outbreak within the squad and staff.
