Liverpool forward Sadio Mane tested positive for coronavirus.
Mane isolates herself with what the club described as “minor symptoms.”
A statement from the club read: “Sadio Mane has tested positive for Covid-19 and is currently self-isolating according to necessary guidelines.
“The forward, who started and scored in Monday’s 3-1 win over Arsenal, has shown minor symptoms of the virus, but is feeling good overall.
“However, as with Thiago Alcantara, Liverpool Football Club follows, and will continue to comply with, all protocols related to COVID-19 and Mane will self-isolate for the required period of time.”
Thiago missed the defeat to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup after his own positive test and he and Mane will be absent for Sunday’s Premier League trip to Aston Villa.
Coach Jurgen Klopp will hope to have both players available when Liverpool return to action after the international break in the Merseyside derby on 17 October at Everton.
The 28-year-old Mane has been in good shape this season, scoring both goals in Liverpool’s win over Chelsea before also scoring against the Gunners.
