Liverpool legend Dalglish tests positive for coronavirus

Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish has tested positive for coronavirus after being admitted to hospital this week.

The 69-year-old, perhaps the most iconic figure in the Reds history, entered hospital on Wednesday for treatment on an infection which, a club statement says, required intravenous antibiotics.

In keeping with current procedures, Dalglish was subsequently tested for COVID-19 despite having previously displayed no symptoms of the illness. The test result returned positive but he remains asymptomatic.
