Last week, no fewer than nine football personalities around Europe tested positive for the highly-contagious coronavirus, including Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi. Since then, a further 13 cases have been confirmed across the continent, most of which have arisen in hard-hit countries such as Italy and Spain.

The most notable outbreak of the coronavirus has come at Sampdoria, where Omar Colley, Albin Ekdal, Antonino La Gumina, Morten Thorsby, Fabio DePaoli and Bartosz Bereszynski have all tested positive in the last few days.
