The French defender had been recently tested for Coronavirus and seems to bear it somehow, he has been out for action for quite some time now because of his knee injury. Now, the club has officially stated that he has been found Covid-19 positive:
After the PCR tests carried out on Thursday the first team player Samuel Umtiti has tested positive for Covid-19. The players are asymptomatic, are in good health, and are isolating at home.
The Club has informed the relevant sporting and health authorities as well as tracking all the people who have had contact with the player so that they can undergo the corresponding PCR tests.
It is however good to see Umtiti’s asymptomatic and is in good health, so he can recover soon from his home only. It is a tough situation for Umtiti already as he is unable to return back to his peak defensive form and we have been hearing rumors surrounding his transfer to Roma, on top of that now he has the virus. We hope the Frenchman recovers soon 🤒😁
