Berlin [Germany], October 15 : Hertha Berlin's Matteo Guendouzi has tested positive for coronavirus, the club announced on Thursday.
"After returning from the France U21s side, where the midfielder led the team as captain in both games, Guendouzi underwent a Coronavirus test on Tuesday afternoon (13/10/20) as planned," the club said in a statement.
