AS Roma midfielder Diawara tests positive for coronavirus after Guinea duty

AS Roma midfielder Amadou Diawara has confirmed he tested positive for coronavirus after returning from national team duty with Guinea.

On Monday, the 23-year-old was made to undergo a swab test upon his return from the Syli Nationale camp in Portugal and he becomes the fifth player in Paulo Fonseca's team to contract Covid-19 after Bruno Peres, Carles Perez, Justin Kluivert, and Antonio Mirante.

He has been forced to go into isolation immediately but he assured that he is doing well to recover.

Diawara has played two Serie A matches so far this campaign and will most likely miss Sunday's match against Benevento.
