Poland midfielder Mateusz Klich tests positive for COVID-19

Leeds’ Poland midfielder Mateusz Klich has contracted coronavirus, the Polish Football Association (PZPN) said on Wednesday, on the eve of a World Cup qualifier against Hungary. “Mateusz Klich has tested positive,” PZPN spokesman Jakub Kwiatkowski said on Twitter. “The player feels well and shows no symptoms of the disease, but his trip to Budapest is ruled out,” he said.

Thursday’s match will be the first for Poland’s new coach Paulo Sousa. They will host Andorra in Warsaw on Sunday before playing England at Wembley on 31 March. Klich has had a strong season in the Premier League scoring three goals so far.
