Wayne Rooney is at the center of coronavirus confusion after he was visited by a friend who was told to get tested for Covid-19 and diagnosed with the disease.
In The Sun’s initial report, he said that the former England captain, now a Sky Bet Championship player coach in the Derby look, was “boiling” after businessman Josh Bardsley visited him on Thursday at his luxury mansion to give him a watch.
A Rooney spokesman showed the scale in Sky Sports News and said, “Josh or anyone else didn’t tell Wayne before or on this scale when Josh had been asked to get a coronavirus test. “
Rooney, who is married to television personality Coleen and has four children, is unaware of any Covid-like disorder similar to Bardsley’s and played in Derby’s 1-0 loss to Watford a day after Friday night’s visit.
“If he had known Josh had been contacted via Track and Trace or tested positive, he would have refused to see him,” Rooney’s spokesman said.
Wayne is angry and disappointed that he, his circle of family members and his club have been put in this position through someone who acted in secret and in violation of government and NHS guidelines. He is now taking a coronavirus check after your contact with Josh. “
Government rules state that anyone who has been in contact with a user who has tested positive will have to isolate themselves for 14 days.
At least the Derby and Watford groups and their staff are likely to be forced to pass the tests. Rooney has already indicated that he will do a test.
Derby did not call Rooney, but showed at a club that he was aware of the reports and would follow instructions.
“Derby County Football Club is aware of a report in a national newspaper related to a member of the club’s gaming team who is in contact with a person who tested positive for Covid-19,” he reads.
After being informed of this news, the club assured that appropriate measures were taken in accordance with the strict protocols of the EFL Covid-19 and the directives of the British government, to which the club operates.
“The club will continue to adhere to Covid-19 regulations and protocols to ensure that its players and staff have the safest environment imaginable.
“The club will not comment unless an additional update is required. “
