Thiago Alcantara tests positive for COVID-19 - Liverpool FC

Thiago Alcantara, Liverpool newly signed midfielder, has tested positive for COVID-19 and is self-isolating based on the necessary guidelines.

The English champions broke news of the former Bayern Munich midfield maestro’s COVID-19 status.

The Barcelona youth graduate is one of the ten players previously reported to have contracted the novel coronavirus in the fourth round of tests conducted by the English Premier League (EPL).

Liverpool disclosed that the 29-year-old, who missed the 3-1 win over Arsenal, has gone into self-isolation, while both club and player would continue to adhere to safety guidelines.

“Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara has tested positive for COVID-19 and is currently self-isolating according to the necessary guidelines,” the club wrote.

“The 29-year-old, who missed Monday’s match against Arsenal, has exhibited minor symptoms of the virus but is in good health and is getting better.

“The club has, and will continue to follow, all protocols relating to COVID-19 and Thiago will remain in self-isolation for the required period of time.”

Alcantara joined Liverpool earlier this month for a deal worth £25 million and made his debut as a substitute in the Anfield club’s 2-0 win at Chelsea.
