Former England star Wayne Rooney 'takes emergency coronavirus test amid fears he could've caught the virus off infected pal who delivered a luxury watch to him at his house'... a week before he played for Derby against Watford on Friday night

Wayne Rooney has reportedly been forced to take an emergency coronavirus test amid fears he could have caught the virus from an infected friend who visited his home last week.

According to The Sun, the Derby captain has been left 'angry' after Josh Bardsley, 27, entered his multi-million-pound mansion to deliver him a luxury watch last Thursday despite being contacted by Test and Trace in the days prior - and he has since tested positive for Covid-19 sparking concerns Rooney could have been infected.
