Ahead of Zamalek’s Champions League clash in the semi-finals, Morocco’s Raja have reported a first coronavirus case among the players.

Moroccan reports said on Friday that the results of the coronavirus swabs, which have been taken from the players and technical staff in the club, showed that player Abdelilah Madkour has tested positive for the respiratory disease.

The White Knights are set to take on the Moroccan team on September 25 in Casablanca in the first leg, while the second leg will be at Cairo Stadium seven days later.

Meanwhile, Morocco’s club Wydad, who are set to clash against Al Ahly, have reported on Thursday fourteen coronavirus cases.
