STANDARD LIEGE have confirmed four positive Coronavirus tests ahead of their clash with Rangers.
Liege were tested following their draw with Club Brugge at the weekend after the league leaders recorded positive cases.
Rangers will begin their Group D campaign in Belgium tomorrow and are set to fly out from Glasgow this afternoon.
A Standard statement read: “Michel-Ange Balikwisha, Nicolas Raskin, Moussa Sissako and our goalkeeper trainer Jan Van Steenberghe have tested positive for Covid 19.
“On Tuesday morning, the entire Rouche delegation underwent a Covid 19 test ahead of Thursday's European match against Rangers FC.
“The results received this morning indicate that Michelangelo, Nicolas, Moussa and Jan are positive.
“The quartet went directly into quarantine and will therefore not participate in the matches this Thursday against Rangers FC and this Sunday at STVV.
“As a precautionary measure, Damjan PAVLOVIC and Abdoul Fessal TAPSOBA, both tested negative, who cohabit and spent the evening yesterday with Moussa SISSAKO, are also excluded from the group pending the results of a new test.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
