Watford defender Adrian Mariappa has confirmed he’s tested positive for the coronavirus.

The Hornets confirmed on Tuesday that three members of their footballing operation - one player and two staff members - had tested positive for Covid-19.

And the centre-half revealed he has contracted the virus, saying: ‘Ever since I got my positive result back on Tuesday, I’ve been scratching my head to try to work out how I might have got coronavirus.

‘It was a big surprise because I haven’t really left the house, apart from some exercise and the odd walk with the kids.
