Fellaini tests positive for coronavirus upon return to China NOW

After returning to China, Marouane Fellaini tested positive for the corona virus. His club Shandong Luneng reports on Sunday that the 32-year-old Belgian has no symptoms.

Fellaini traveled from Dubai to China on Friday, because the intention is to start the Chinese Super League in mid-April.

The midfielder, who transferred from Manchester United to Shandong Luneng in January last year, was immediately tested on arrival and found to be infected with the COVID-19 virus.

The 87-time international of Belgium had to be quarantined for fourteen days anyway. That rule applies to anyone returning to China from abroad. Shandong Luneng hopes to start training again in two weeks.

The coronavirus outbreak started in China, but Fellaini is only the first player of a Chinese Super League club to have tested positive for the virus.

The main Chinese football league was supposed to start on February 22.
