Liverpool and Egypt forward Mohamed Salah has returned a second positive test for coronavirus while on international duty, the Egyptian Football Association said Wednesday. Salah had "a new swab to detect the Covid-19 virus, its result was positive".

Arsenal player Mohamed Elneny was also re-tested and his result was also positive, the FA said. Without Salah, Egypt beat Togo 3-1 in their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Tuesday and top their group.
