PORTSMOUTH have confirmed that on-loan Rangers defender Ross McCrorie has been diagnosed with Coronavirus.
McCrorie moved to Fratton Park last summer and has been an integral part of the Pompey squad this term.
Four players at the League One club have tested positive for Covid-19 in recent days and McCrorie is now self-isolating.
A club statement read: "Portsmouth Football Club can confirm that Ross McCrorie has tested positive for coronavirus.
"Previous tests showed that four other members of the squad – James Bolton, Andy Cannon, Haji Mnogaand Sean Raggett – had also contracted the virus.
"All five players displayed mild or no symptoms, but are self-isolating in accordance with government guidelines.
"The club are now waiting on the results of one more test, which is for a member of the backroom team.
"We urge everyone to continue following government advice to help limit the spread of this virus.
"Stay at home. Protect the NHS. Save lives."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
