Former Manchester United star Marouane Fellaini has tested positive for the coronavirus, he said Sunday, becoming the first known case in the Chinese Super League (CSL).
The 32-year-old Belgian international midfielder, who recently returned to his CSL team Shandong Luneng, wrote on Twitter: "Thanks to the fans, medical staff and the club for their care and attention.
"I will follow the treatment and hope to return to the game as soon as possible. Please everyone stay safe," he added, posting a picture of himself smiling and giving a thumbs-up.
Shandong Luneng said Fellaini had a normal temperature and was feeling fine, but "is under observation and having treatment at a designated medical facility".
"The club will do its best... to help in the treatment and recovery of the player."
Fellaini is the latest high-profile name in football to catch the disease, along with Juventus forward Paulo Dybala, Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.
The chief executive of English football giants Liverpool has offered the club's stewards to local supermarkets as customers clamber for goods amid the cornavirus outbreak.
"Message to supermarket managers here on Merseyside," wrote Liverpool Football Club chief executive Peter Moore on Twitter.
"Our stadium stewards here @LFC are offering their time and expertise in volunteering to help with crowd control, queue management, parking control, assisting the elderly and infirm taking their groceries to their cars, etc.
"They are truly the best in the business and would be delighted to help in whatever way you would deem appropriate (and safe) on your premises. Please DM me so that I can put you in contact. #YNWA (You'll Never Walk Alone), he added, referencing the Liverpool anthem.
There have been reports of British supermarket workers facing abuse amid panic buying as customers scramble for food and other items during the coronavirus outbreak.
Shop workers' union Usdaw said retail staff "play an essential role in getting the country through this crisis" and needed support.
Northwest side Liverpool, who have not been crowned champions of England since 1990, are currently a huge 25 points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
But with the competition currently suspended, and no certainty as to when or if it will resume, there is still some doubt over whether the champions-elect will win their first English title of the Premier League era this season.
