A player discovers he has been infected with the Coronavirus, a day after he was called up for the first time to the French national team
The result of the Corona virus test that Lyon midfielder Hossam Awar underwent was positive, according to what his club announced the day before yesterday, and therefore did not participate in his team's match against Dijon in the French League the day before yesterday. A statement issued by the French club said, "Hossam Awar is the only player from the squad that has had a positive result." Since knowing the results of the examination, Hussam Awar has isolated himself and will be subjected to quarantine for a period of 14 days, knowing that he does not suffer from any symptoms. Lyon confirmed that Awar had contracted the Covid-19 epidemic outside the club's walls.
This heavy blow to Awar (22 years) came one day after he was called up to the French national team for the first time in his career by Al-Duk coach Didier Deschamps. Hours later, Deschamps announced the recall of Nabil Fakir, the Real Betis player, instead of Awar.
France will meet Sweden and Croatia on September 5 and 8 in the European Nations League. Aawar's colleague in the French national team, Paul Pogba, was infected with the new Corona virus and was, in turn, excluded from the national team.
