French AS Monaco, which played a test match against Nice on Friday, announced that two members of the professional team have tested positive for the coronavirus. According to the authoritative edition L’Équipe, we are talking about the goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte and the head coach of AS Monaco Nico Covache.
The disease is asymptomatic, so both were quarantined in separate teams and were absent from the game against Nice. If confirmed positive, Niko Kovacs will become the first coach in the French Ligue 1 since the start of the season to have the coronavirus.
