The Egyptian Football Association issued a statement through its Official Twitter account on Friday to confirm the news:
“The medical swab performed… showed that our international player, Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, was infected with the coronavirus after his test came back positive.
“Although he does not present any symptoms. While the other team members were negative. “
Before the international break, Jurgen Klopp spoke of his concern that players are at risk of contracting the virus while traveling with their national teams.
In an interview that has been cited by The standard of the night, the Liverpool manager said:
“I don’t want to sound disrespectful about how other countries are doing. But this is the place we know and we know how we deal with it.
“That is why I am a bit concerned because it is difficult to be in contact with all the federations (football associations) around the world.
“I understand, I really understand how difficult the situation is. But the information we get from certain AFs is not exactly perfect.
“As a football club you are pretty lonely right now, we send the players and then we have another challenge because we have to play a Premier League game on a Saturday after they have traveled from, maybe Peru, on Thursday or Friday. .
“You have to make sure you get the players home in the fastest and safest way and then we have to see how they are doing before trying to get a result on Saturday.”
