LIVERPOOL, England — Liverpool forward Sadio Mane has become the second player to contract the coronavirus at the English Premier League champions this week.
``I've been tested positive but I am feeling good and not showing heavy symptoms,'' Mane wrote on Instagram on Friday. ``I will begin my quarantine and recovery process immediately.''
Liverpool described Mane's symptoms as ``minor'' and said he ``feels in good health overall.''
Mane, who scored in a 3-1 victory over Arsenal on Monday, will miss Sunday's game against Aston Villa. Midfielder Thiago Alcantara is also out of the game after contracting COVID-19.
``Make sure that you stay safe and follow all rules to protect yourself and your loved ones to avoid a second wave of the COVID-19 virus spreading all over the world,'' Mane said. ``I will be back stronger than before! We will get through this together.''
