Coronavirus: David Healy gives an update on Linfield player's recovery

The club revealed last week that an unnamed member of their squad had tested positive for COVID-19, which led to the postponement of the game against Larne and a deep clean being carried out at Windsor Park.

The Blues boss said it was a "challenging time" as he gave an update on the club website, but added the player is feeling much better.

“I just want to let everyone know that we’ve kept in regular contact with our player who we reported ill last week and we’re really pleased to advise that he’s making good progress and is feeling much better," said Healy.

"He (and indeed the rest of our close-knit squad) want to thank everyone who’ve included him in their prayers and forwarded kind messages of concern, as well as sincere and best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.

"Our player has also asked that I pass on his wish that everyone should look after themselves, as well as their nearest and dearest at this most difficult of times and hopefully, we will be back playing football again, as soon as is medically possible.”
