Two Squirrels players have tested positive to COVID-19 virus as the team prepare to host the Super Eagles of Nigeria by 5pm Nigerian time this evening.
The coach of Squirrels, Michel Dussuyer who broke the news said initially, it was just a player that was hit by Covid-19; the player later infected another one.
According to the coach, “samples have been taken.” Consequently and owing to health restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, the two players are already isolated as recommended by health authorities.
It is possible another player may have been infected.
“We are waiting for the result of a third test to perhaps give the name of the player”, local news outlet, La Nouvelle Tribune quoted Michel Dussuyer as saying.
The Squirrels of Benin Republic were the giant killers at the 2019 AFCON in Egypt where the team crashed out to Tunisia at the quarter – finals after eliminating Morocco in round 16.
