In the English Premier League (EPL), Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has tested positive for the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), according to France manager Didier Deschamps.
AllNews reports that the 27-year-old will have to self-isolate and will be unavailable for France's Nations League fixtures.
France travel to Sweden for their opening Nations League match on Saturday, 5 September.
However, Pogba could be eligible for selection for Red Devil's Premier League opener against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on 19 September.
Pogba and United are not alone.
Recall AllNews reported earlier today that Chelsea was been hit with waves of coronavirus positive test results as they prepare for the new season after the recent test conducted in the team.
The West London team confirmed numbers of positive tests to COVID-19 and the players are already in quarantine to prevent further spread of the virus within the squad or outside to other clubs since players do have an association with other players from other clubs.
The identity of the Chelsea players is still unknown but further words will be expected out of the Chelsea camp in subsequent weeks.
There had been spikes in the virus spread among clubs in the league even before Chelsea players underwent their tests - 14 players have been recorded o be tested positive from 12 different clubs in the English top flight.
These clubs include Sheffield United, Brighton, and West Ham (which also a London club). Pogba's case now takes the tally up.
