Salah tests positive for COVID-19
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has returned a positive test result for coronavirus, the Egypt Football Association (EFA) has announced.
Salah is away with Egypt on international duty but, ahead of two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Togo, the EFA has confirmed it will be without its star man.
The EFA revealed on Saturday (AEDT) that Salah, who has scored 10 goals in all competitions so far for Liverpool, had tested positive for COVID-19.
While the 28-year-old is asymptomatic, Salah will have to isolate for 14 days from the date of the test, meaning he will definitely miss the Reds' next Premier League outing, against leader Leicester City on 22 November (AEDT), while it would appear likely he will be absent for the UEFA Champions League clash with Atalanta four days later.
