Silva gets Covid on his first day
DAVID SILVA has tested positive for coronavirus on his first day as a Real Sociedad player after being officially unveiled just hours before by the La Liga club. The former Manchester City star was presented in his new club’s colours at Sociedad’s Anoeta Stadium yesterday morning, only to return a positive Covid test by the afternoon. The club tweeted: ‘Real Sociedad informs that David Silva has tested positive for Covid-19 in the test carried out. The player is asymptomatic and is self-isolating.’ The 34-year-old received multiple offers from clubs around the world. He reportedly came close to a deal with Serie A side Lazio and also attracted interest from David Beckham’s MLS club Inter Miami.
