New Liverpool signing Thiago Alcantara has tested positive for coronavirus, the club confirmed on Tuesday.
The Spain international, who joined from Bayern Munich in September, made his debut off the bench against Chelsea as the Reds recorded a 2-0 victory in the first match of their Premier League defence.
He was then forced to sit out Monday's victory over Arsenal due to injury, and will now be isolated from the rest of his team-mates while he recovers from the epidemic virus.
