Lille midfielders Renato Sanches, Jonathan Ikone and Jonathan Bamba have tested positive for COVID-19, coach Christophe Galtier said on Saturday, calling for more firmness in enforcing social distancing.
Oyogist.com learnt that all three tested positive last Monday, Galtier said after a 2-1 friendly win at Belgian first-division club Mouscron.
He said Sanches, a Euro 2016 winner, had returned to Portugal during a week off and there shown symptoms and tested positive.
“Renato is still in Portugal and he cannot travel yet because he has to pass two negative tests,” Galtier said.
