Aug 25, 2020

It's confirmed: Sprint legend Usain Bolt has tested positive for COVID-19. 

The former Olympic champion announced earlier that he was undergoing home quarantine after being tested for the coronavirus at the weekend. 

Bolt also urged everyone who attended his recent birthday party to get tested as well.

The guests included Man City's Raheem Sterling.

This poses a headache for England boss Gareth Southgate, who was expected to name Sterling in his squad for next month's Nations League matches against Iceland and Denmark.

Southgate is expected to announce his squad tonight.
