Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has tested positive for
coronavirus.
This was confirmed by the Egyptian Football Association in a
statement on its website on Friday.
He contracted the virus while on international duty and had
been isolated.
The statement was titled, ‘Mohamed Salah infected with
Coronavirus’.
The statement read, “The medical swab conducted on our
national football team showed that our player, Mohamed Salah, the star of
Liverpool, is infected with coronavirus after his test came positive, although
he does not suffer from any symptoms, while the other members of the team
tested negative,” the statement said.
It added that Liverpool have been contacted and informed of
the development, “in addition to isolating him (Salah) inside his room and also
isolating all contacts”.
Record seven-time African champions Egypt only drew their
first two matches in Group G to lie third in a section also including Kenya and
the Comoros, and which they were expected to dominate.
Both matches against Togo will be staged behind closed doors
because of COCID-19 with the first in Cairo Saturday and the return match in
Lome Tuesday.
