I'm sure someone said that wedding was a few months back but if thats recent and he has got Covid then its his fault and the club need to fine the fuck out of him as a result. 

 

Imagine getting paid thousands of pounds a day to stay fit and play a match twice a week then you let yourself get injured/ill by being a fucking moron. 

His brother's wedding was 3 days ago. Im no expert but I thought it took at least 5 days after contact with any infected persons to return a positive test.

 

He could quite as easily picked it up in Liverpool.

Still shaking my head that all the clubs in Europe havent kicked off (no pun intended) over FIFA insistance that international football goes on and players must be released during this pandemic.

Is it that much different to the Champions League games?

 

I know there are more players and they are going further afield, which obviously increases risk, but how much more dramatic is the risk? 
 

We’ve got to go to Denmark soon, which isn’t great. New Zealand refused to come here. Swings and roundabouts.

Not sure how money rolling into FIFA is a consideration for clubs when their results in leagues are potentially being impacted.

Money flows up, shit flows down.

In some way it is and some it isnt. Most of Europe has good covid protocols. No disrespect to places in Africa and the rest of the World, but can we be sure theirs are? Also, the CL and EL dont see players scattered all over the globe.

 

To be frank, Im even surprised the CL and EL are going ahead.

This season sucks the sweat from a dead man's testicles, would have been happy for it to never get played and just get football back on when Covid is over.

No, I get what your saying. Statistically, the UK has the worst death toll in Europe. The North West is currently one of the worst infected areas. 
 

I fully realise that our MI will most likely be better than African / Asian / South American countries but we can’t blame the rest of the world when, from what we know, the UK is one of the worst places to be.

True but still why is he dancing around singing without even a mask on?

There's places in Africa that have much better covid protocols - and much much lower rates of transmission - than the UK does. Ghana, for example, has had 320 covid deaths total.

Leicester going back 24 hours must help Salah.

 

Although Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday morning isn’t helpful in general.

If he had no symptoms then he has to isolate for 10 days from test date....i think??

 

If so no way he plays v Leicester.

[dockers_strike]

If a 2nd test returns negative, he's in the clear, just like Shaq. The first test is usually that quicker one that is less reliable. The 2nd test is a different protocol and more accurate, if the Egyptian FA are using it.

 

Not sure Id rule him out of Leicester just yet and would think Liverpool would re test him when he returns but clutching at straws all the same.

Assuming the test was yesterday (which I get it might have been today), 10 days is the day of the Leicester game. 
 

If he does play v Leicester, it’ll be on back of zero training for 2+ weeks.

That zero training is why he won't play, Klopp pretty much operates a no training no playing method doesn't he.... plus he wouldn't be able to leave egypt until that day anyway would he?

 

If he has it he is out of Leicester and Atalanta will be touch and go.

If he’s medically cleared for Leicester (ie virus free) he’ll play the majority of the match.

 

IMO, the only blocker will be virus clearance.

If he's got it and is forced to double quarantine, 10 days there and 14in England, which is a slight possibility, we should tell all the relevant fa's to fuck off, our players aren't going anywhere in future

They're waiting on a second, more thorough test to verify. Keita and the power cube both initially tested positive and when retested, they were cleared
