Swiss Super League club Lugano announced that newly-invited Nigeria goalkeeper Sebastian Osigwe has tested positive for coronvairus.
Osigwe was handed his debut Super Eagles call-up on Thursday ahead of their double-header Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Sierra Leone in November, and his health status was confirmed shortly after.
The Luzern-born goalkeeper and Mattia Bottani contracted the virus in Maurizio Jacobacci's team while six other players have been quarantine.
With eight players out of their next Super League fixture against Young Boys on November 1, Lugano have reached out to the league authorities and their request for the postponement of the encounter to a later date has been approved.
