Koln midfielder Verstraete: It's 'bizarre' we are still training after three positive Covid-19 tests

FC Koln midfielder Birger Verstraete has said it's "a bit bizarre" that his team is continuing to train after it announced three positive Covid-19 cases on Friday.

The Bundesliga side said that the trio have gone into quarantine after the test results, but that the rest of the squad would continue training normally.

Though Koln would not confirm who tested positive, local media reported that two players and one physiotherapist were the confirmed cases.

And Verstraete confirmed these reports in an interview with Belgian TV station VTM, saying he is concerned that he was in close quarters with those who tested positive.
