Scotland's new Euros hero Billy Gilmour tests positive for Covid - just three days after he was named Man of the Match against England

The Euro 2020 football championships were today rocked by a coronavirus crisis after Scotland's star midfielder Billy Gilmour tested positive for Covid-19 just three days after facing England.

The 20-year-old Chelsea footballer will now be forced to self-isolate for ten days, hours after playing a major role in Scotland's goalless draw with England at Wembley Stadium last Friday in his first start for the national team.

Gilmour was seen hugging some of his Chelsea team-mates after the match - and there could now be doubts over both Ben Chilwell and Mason Mount prior to England's final group game against the Czech Republic tomorrow.
