Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny has tested positive for coronavirus while on Egypt duty, according to his agent.
Elneny has been away with his country and has contracted the disease, meaning he will need to enter a period of self-isolation.
The 28-year-old played against Togo in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Saturday.
His agent Alan Nazmy posted on Twitter : "Elneny Positive Cov19 get well soon."
It means Elneny is likely to miss Arsenal's trip to Leeds on Sunday, as well as their Europa League clash at Molde next week.
The Gunners then host Wolves in the Premier League before taking on Rapid Vienna at the Emirates. The first north London derby of the season is away at Tottenham, likely on December 6.
Elneny's international teammate Mohamed Salah also picked up Covid-19 while away with Egypt.
Salah is currently in quarantine while he waits to discover when he will be allowed to travel back to Merseyside.
The Egyptian Ministry of Health's Covid-19 committee chief Hossam Hosny said: "Salah is currently in El-Gouna to complete his quarantine and he will conduct another PCR test on Thursday, and I expect that his result will be negative because until now, the player hasn't shown any symptoms.
"Like any Egyptian citizen, Salah underwent all needed medical scans and tests that showed he is not suffering from any symptoms and he is now following medical protocol with self-isolation.
" Liverpool are communicating with us to check on Salah, and their medical staff have agreed that he will travel to El-Gouna.
"And Salah can return to England if his test result on Thursday is negative."
Elneny has enjoyed a run in the team at Arsenal this season having spent the last campaign on loan at Besiktas.
He has played 11 times for the Gunners in all competitions this term under Mikel Arteta.
