The 23-year-old has immediately gone into quarantine and he will miss his team’s trip to Zulte-Waregem on Sunday. However, he will be retested next week.

Three days ago, the Nigeria youth international ended his goal drought for Club Brugge with his maiden strike in the 2020-21 season against Waasland-Beveren.

Okereke played for 77 minutes in Saturday's league match before he was replaced by Senegal forward Krepin Diatta.

He has made four appearances in the Belgian First Division A this term which include two starts.
