Hertha Berlin have said Arsenal loanee Matteo Guendouzi has tested positive for coronavirus.

The positive test results came after the midfielder returned from two games with France’s under-21 team.

Guendouzi captained the side to a 5-0 win over Liechtenstein on Thursday and a 1-0 victory over Slovakia on Monday. 

Hertha said Guendouzi was tested on Tuesday and again on Wednesday. Both samples were positive. 

Guendouzi, who joined the Bundesliga club on loan from Arsenal this month, will now carry out a 10-day quarantine period that will prevent him from making his debut for Hertha against Stuttgart in the German top flight on Saturday. AP
