Former Leicester attacker Musa slams 'fake news' over coronavirus diagnosis

Nigeria striker Ahmed Musa has taken to social media to shut down false claims he has been diagnosed with coronavirus.

The 27-year-old recently returned to his homeland from Saudi Arabia, where he currently plays for Al-Nassr.

Upon arriving back in Nigeria, Musa confirmed his intention to self-isolate, with some media taking that as a sign he had tested positive for Covid-19.
