Watford manager Nigel Pearson says Adrian Mariappa 'looks exceptionally well and feels very well himself' following his positive test for Covid-19.
The 33-year-old defender tested positive for coronavirus earlier this week along with two non-playing members of staff.
But Pearson is confident Mariappa will make a swift recovery and return to training after being given the all clear.
Pearson told Sky Sports News: 'When I saw him for the test last week, I was sitting in the car park chatting to players as he came past so I had a chance to touch base with most of them.
