“I got a call from the board of directors after training while I was in my car and they told me that the president of Olympiakos had tested positive and everyone that had been in uh was at risk.
I went on to tell them that I wasn’t feeling well and that we had a situation because we had lots of players that had been in contact with them [Olympiakos]. “We had a game against Manchester City the next day and obviously we couldn’t put lots of people at risk without saying anything.
