LIVERPOOL, England (AP) - Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara has tested positive for the coronavirus.
The 29-year-old Alcantara, who joined the Premier League champions from Bayern Munich this month, will now self-isolate for at least 10 days as required by authorities.
The Spaniard made his Liverpool debut in a 2-0 Premier League win at Chelsea but missed Monday’s 3-1 victory over Arsenal.
