TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (REUTERS) - Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara will miss Sunday's (Dec 19) Premier League match at Tottenham Hotspur due to a "suspected positive test for Covid-19", while Jordan Henderson is out because of illness, the Merseyside club said.
Captain Henderson returned a negative test for Covid-19 and Thiago is under isolation.
"All of the Reds' first-team squad and staff have been tested for Covid-19 on Saturday as well as this morning, with no further positive cases detected, which includes Henderson,"Liverpool said in a statement.
Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho and Curtis Jones missed Liverpool's 3-1 win over Newcastle United on Thursday after suspected positive tests for Covid-19 and will not return to the team to face Spurs.
