Fourteen team members and staff of Serie A side Genoa have now tested positive for COVID-19, the club said in a statement on Monday.
Genoa had reported at the weekend that their Denmark midfielder Lasse Schone and goalkeeper Mattia Perin had contracted the virus.
Leicester City routed Manchester City 5-2 despite just 28 percent possession. It was a masterclass in frustrating the opposition and making the most of your opportunities going forward. Another heartwarming James Maddison celebration was also a masterclass in honoring those who inspire the footballers we watch every week.
Glasgow City is, we admit, a fan favorite at The18. Last season, with three Americans on the squad, the part-time club reached the quarterfinals of the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

TOKYO — Thirty four years after making his professional debut, Japanese forward Kazuyoshi Miura became the oldest player to appear in a J-League first division match when he led Yokohama FC on Wednesday at the age of 53.
