Liverpool forward Sadio Mane has tested positive for coronavirus and is self-isolating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The news comes three days after the club said midfielder Thiago Alcantara had tested positive for Covid-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liverpool say the Senegal winger has “displayed minor symptoms of the virus but feels in good health overall”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mane, 28, played for the Reds in a 3-1 win over Arsenal on Monday but was not in the squad for the EFL Cup defeat on penalties to the Gunners on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A statement on Liverpool’s website added: “Like with Thiago Alcantara, Liverpool are – and will continue to – following all protocols relating to Covid-19 and Mane will self-isolate for the required period of time.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mane, who has scored three goals for the Anfield club this season, will now miss the Premier League game against Aston Villa on Sunday prior to the international break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The club’s first game after that will be the Merseyside derby at Everton on 17 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
