Barcelona confirmed on Saturday that Dutch striker Luuk de Jong has tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of the team’s next match against Sevilla on Sunday.
De Jong is said to be in good health but will be unavailable for the game against his parent club as Barcelona return to action after the international break.
Barca raised a few eyebrows when De Jong arrived on loan in the summer, but he’s proven to be a useful signing, scoring six goals in all competitions for Barca.
The Dutchman also appears to have won over supporters with his goals and professionalism during his short time at Barcelona so far.
