Liverpool’s Mo Salah tested positive for coronavirus, says Egypt’s football association.
Salah was scheduled to play for his country in tomorrow’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Togo.
The governing body said a medical swab taken from the 28-year-old tested positive for COVID-19, but the striker had no symptoms.
He said Salah was now isolating himself and would be “subject to further controls in the next few hours.”
