Celtic on alert as Milan duo test positive for coronavirus after Europa League clash

Milan have announced two of their players have tested positive for coronavirus following their Europa League clash with Celtic.

Gianluigi Donnarumma and Jens Petter Hauge, who scored the Serie A side's third goal in their 3-1 win at Parkhead, are both asymptomatic and have gone into self-quarantine.

A statement from the club said: "AC Milan announces that the results received from the laboratory yesterday evening found a positive swab by Gianluigi Donnarumma, Jens Petter Hauge and three other members of the team group.

"All are asymptomatic, were immediately subjected to home isolation and the local health authorities were informed.

"Today the whole team group was tested again, as per protocol, and no new positivity was found."

Celtic have been hit with a series of covid setbacks recently after Odsonne Edouard, Hatem Abd Elhamed and Nir Bitton all tested positive on international duty.

Ryan Christie also had to self isolate after he came in close contact with Stuart Armstrong who came down with the virus with Scotland.
