Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe has tested positive for COVID-19, per Goal.com.
Mbappe is asymptomatic. He has left the team to isolate at home, and he will not participate in France's match against Croatia on Tuesday in the UEFA Nations League.
A statement was released on the situation:
“Kylian Mbappe will not participate in France versus Croatia on Tuesday evening at 20:45CET at the Stade de France,” a statement from the French FA has confirmed.
“The result of his Covid-19 test carried out by UEFA on Monday morning was found to be positive. He was placed away from the group after receiving the results, at the end of training, before going back to his own home in the evening.
“Like the entire delegation, Kylian Mbappe had undergone a test prior to the games of the international break. The result was negative, like the one last Wednesday, at the request of UEFA, before Sweden against France.”
Kylian Mbappe scored 18 goals for PSG in 2019-20 in 20 matches.
Hopefully, he's able to return to the field soon, as he's one of the best youngsters in the sport.
