BREAKING NEWS: Paul Pogba tests positive for coronavirus




Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba tests positive for coronavirus - just days after £89m star was pictured out at a London restaurant with his heavily pregnant wife

Manchester United star Paul Pogba has tested positive for coronavirus.

The 27-year-old had been named in France's squad for their upcoming Nations League matches next month but has been replaced in the squad by Eduardo Camavinga following his positive test result.

Pogba had remained in England during his time off and was pictured enjoying a night out at the swanky Cipriani Restaurant in London on Saturday night with his heavily pregnant wife Maria Zulay Salaues and friends.

Tottenham midfielder and Pogba's compatriot Tanguy Ndombele has also been removed from Didier Deschamps' squad after being diagnosed with the virus.

Pogba had taken a test on Wednesday and found out his positive test result on Thursday afternoon.

France boss Deschamps confirmed Pogba's withdrawal from the squad, saying: 'I had to make a last-minute change to this list, because Paul Pogba was planned to be in this list but unfortunately for him, he took a test (for COVID-19) yesterday which turned out to be positive today, so at the last minute he was replaced by Eduardo Camavinga.'

The £89m United man will now have to spend 14 days in self-isolation, meaning he will miss the start of the club's pre-season preparations next Wednesday while Ndombele will also be unable to train with Tottenham.

World Cup winner Pogba, who has a son with wife Maria, is the latest Premier League player to test positive for Covid-19.

It was revealed on Wednesday that Chelsea have had to place eight players in quarantine after six players tested positive on their return from sunshine trips around Europe.
