Two PSG players suspected to have Covid-19

Two Paris Saint-Germain players are suspected of having contracted Covid-19, the club has said.

The unnamed players remain in good health and are following protocol to minimise risk of spreading the disease, PSG say, though it is yet to be confirmed if they have it.

There have been several cases of players testing positive for Covid-19 in France in recent weeks, with Lyon star Houssem Aouar missing his team's first game of the campaign after being diagnosed while Rennes announced three confirmed cases last week.

The French national team was also hit with the news that Manchester United duo Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial had tested positive, forcing them to pull out of the squad ahead of the upcoming UEFA Nations League games against Sweden and Croatia.
