The English Football Association has confirmed that Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah who initially went on international break has tested positive for coronavirus.

Salah’s development is a huge blow to the entire Liverpool squad that is already depleted following a number of injury cases that have plagued the club recently.

Confirming Salah’s coronavirus case, the English FA announced that the 28-year-old produced a positive result upon return to England.

He had returned home to Egypt ahead of the AFCON qualifiers and upon tests following his arrival in Cairo, Egyptian authorities confirmed that the player is carrying the virus.

The Liverpool forward immediately left the national team and returned to his base and upon his arrival, he was tested again and the result was positive.

The EFA said Salah is now isolating, and that he would be “subject to more checks in the coming hours”.

The player has been in dazzling form so far this season scoring 10 goals in 13 appearances so far.

It was gathered that he had attended parties, including a family wedding while in Egypt - as a footage showed him dancing with guests on more than an occasion and they were not wearing a mask.

It was however gathered that the former Chelsea star is asymptomatic as he has only developed mild symptoms.

He will be self-isolating and could return for Liverpool’s next game as the Reds will only return to action on November 22 when they take on Leicester City.
