Kevin-Prince Boateng’s Besiktas confirm eight COVID-19 cases

Kevin-Prince Boateng Turkish club Besiktas have confirmed their club President and eight people between the squad and staff have tested positive for the coronavirus.

The coronavirus continues to affect football all over the world, with many teams having at least one positive case.

Besiktas announced via two statements that President Ahmet Nur Cebi had contracted the illness, then that further blanket tests across the entire squad and club employees flagged up eight positive results.

They have been quarantined as per the medical protocol, as the Turkish Super Lig is set to resume on June 12.

Turkey has officially recorded 143,114 cases of the new coronavirus while 3,952 people have died, according to the health minister Wednesday.

Boateng is currently in Italy but is expected to return to Turkey in the coming days ahead of the resumption of the Super Lig on June 12.
