The 23-year-old acted professionally and maturely upon learning there was a chance he might be carrying Covid-19
Hannover defender Timo Hubers has tested positive for coronavirus, the 2. Bundesliga side have confirmed.
The club believe the 23-year-old contracted the virus at an event in Hildesheim on Saturday.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Hannover said Hubers immediately self-isolated after going to the doctor for tests once he had learned he had been in contact with someone who had the virus.
They believe it is unlikely Hubers could have passed the infection to the rest of the squad as he has not been in contact with them since last Saturday.
