Manchester City's Benjamin Mendy has confirmed members of his family have tested negative for coronavirus.

The full-back was forced into self-isolation on Thursday after a scare involving a family member who was taken to hospital with symptoms of the disease.

A City spokesperson told Goal: “The club is aware that a family member of a senior men’s team player is in hospital with symptoms of a respiratory illness.

“He has undergone tests at hospital one of which is for Covid-19. Until the results are known, the player in question is self-isolating as a precaution.”

While he is still waiting for test results to return Mendy took to Instagram on Saturday to reveal that some of those close to him have received good news.

And he called on potential sufferers to be “responsible” in order to help stop the spread of the illness, which has brought several European leagues including the Premier League to a halt.

“Good morning, everyone. First of all, I would like to thank you for your numerous messages of support following the news about my quarantine,” he wrote on the social network, accompanied by a link pointing readers to the World Health Organisation’s advice on the subject. (Man CIty)
