Sadio Mane has tested positive for CoVID-19.
He becomes the latest target for the novel disease spreading all over the world. His team-mate Thiago had tested positive yesterday and the Senegalese forward has now joined the Spaniard on the sidelines.
This is the official statement released by the club:
“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.”
Mane has been wonderful for Liverpool in the last few seasons. His prowess grew in stature and his last match against Arsenal, he was simply unplayable.
The player will be expected to be back in action soon. Liverpool players geting affected might mean that the teams they have faced may also have to get tested – including the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal.
Moreover, it might mean that new signing Diogo Jota would play more often given the situation.
