According to him, he has been advised by the doctor to isolate and undergo another test on Friday to be certain of his COVID-19 status thus ruling him out of the game on Saturday.

“After I was told I had contracted the COVID-19, I went to see my doctor and after checks, it showed that I wasn’t having the COVID-19.
“The doctor told me to isolate for one week to be sure that I don’t have the virus. I will undertake another test on Friday”.
“But unfortunately I will not be available for Aduana Stars' match because of my one-week isolation.”, he added.
