    Third high-profile player to test positive on international duty

  • Suarez is the third high-profile player to have tested positive for the virus, after Liverpool's Mohamed Salah was infected while on international duty with Egypt.

    However, Salah's team doctor said he has mild symptoms and he will self-isolate for at least a week.

    Last month, the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo tested positive while representing Portugal and was forced to miss several games for Juventus.
