Manchester City Midfielder David Silva tests positive

David Silva has tested positive for coronavirus, his new club Real Sociedad have confirmed.

The 34-year-old recently returned to La Liga, on a two-year deal at the club, as a free agent following the expiry of his contract at Manchester City.

Sociedad have confirmed that the midfielder is currently not displaying any symptoms of the disease and is self-isolating.

Real Sociedad tweeted: “Real Sociedad informs that @21LVA [David Silva] has tested positive for COVID-19 in the test carried out at Policlinica Gipuzkoa. The player is asymptomatic and is self-isolating.”

 

Silva had earlier been unveiled by La Real and the former Valencia playmaker said at the press conference he was targeting more silverware after returning to Spain.

At City, Silva won four Premier League titles and was a part of seven domestic cup wins, not including Community Shields. He was also a part of the Spain national sides that won two European Championships and the World Cup between 2008 and 2012.
