Young Montpellier midfielder Junior Sambia has been admitted into intensive care in France after suffering ‘severe’ Covid-19 symptoms.
L’Equipe reports that the 23-year-old was admitted into hospital on Monday after showing initial signs of the virus before being admitted into intensive care on Thursday after his condition worsened.
It has been suggested that the player is suffering from respiratory and digestive problems linked with the virus.
If the player is confirmed to be positive for coronavirus, he would become the first player in Ligue 1 to have officially contracted the virus.
