Coronavirus affecting football: Leicester City players show symptoms, Manolo Gabbiadini tests positive

The former Celtic and Liverpool boss has added that the players are being kept away from the squad, and that procedures are being followed.

Leicester, who won the Premier League title in 2016, are not the only club in Europe whose players have shown symptoms or have been affected by the coronavirus.
