Genk striker Onuachu tests positive for coronavirus

Nigeria international and Genk star Paul Onuachu has tested positive for coronavirus on Wednesday.

The striker has returned to the Luminus Arena amid the relaxation of lockdown in major cities across the globe.

As reported by Het Laaste Niuews, the Smurfs were subjected to a Covid-19 test in the build-up to Thursday’s pre-season game against Eendracht Termien with only the Nigerian testing positive.

He has gone into quarantine while the exhibition game will go on as planned even at Onuachu’s diagnosis.

Onuachu joined the Blue-White last summer from Danish side Midtjylland and has become a key component of Hannes Wolf’s team.
