Thiago has confirmed that he has contracted Covid-19 and is currently self-isolating for a period of 10 days. The Liverpool star missed Monday’s win over Arsenal with a mystery problem, with boss Jurgen Klopp only confirming that he would not be available for the Reds until after the international break.
But now it has emerged that the Spain international midfielder was diagnosed with the coronavirus, after two separate tests detected the condition in samples.
The test was carried out at the end of last week, and the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich player immediately went into quarantine to ensure the virus did not spread through the Liverpool squad.
