Corona hits Pogba and the Chelsea stars ... the English Premier League is in danger
France coach Didier Deschamps told the French newspaper L'Equipe that medical tests had confirmed that Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba had been infected with the Corona virus.
The 27-year-old will have to self-isolate for 14 days.
Pogba will miss the French national team’s European Nations League match in Sweden on Saturday 5 September, and the match against Croatia three days later in France.
However, Pogba may qualify to join the Manchester United squad in the Premier League's first game of the new season against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on September 19.
Manchester United said in a statement today: "Everyone at United wishes Paul a speedy recovery before the new season."
On the other hand, four stars from Chelsea, England, were also infected with Corona, and were placed in quarantine, a few weeks before the start of the league, and they were: Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori, and American Christian Pulisic.
In the face of Corona cases, the number of players' infections with the virus is increasing, prompting the English Premier League to decide to postpone the start of the English Premier League, which is scheduled to start on September 12.
