Arsenal’s Elneny and Kolasinac also return positive testsSalah to miss at least two
Liverpool matches as he isolatesMohamed Salah will miss Liverpool’s game against
Premier League leaders Leicester on Sunday – and possibly two more matches for Jürgen Klopp’s side – after testing positive for Covid-19 for a second time.
The Liverpool forward and
Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny both returned positive tests on Wednesday, the Egyptian
Football Association confirmed. The results mean Salah, who commenced a self-isolation period last Friday, will miss Leicester’s visit to Anfield and could also be absent when Liverpool play Atalanta in the
Champions League next Wednesday and Brighton on 28 November. He cannot leave
Egypt until he records a negative result. Elneny must sit out Arsenal’s visit to Leeds on Sunday and may also miss Arsenal’s Europa League game at Molde next Thursday.
