The Donegal senior gaelic football panel has gone into self-isolation following confirmation that one of the players has tested positive for Covid-19.
The county board issued a statement on Saturday confirming the positive case:
“After a long hiatus, and in line with GAA guidelines, the Donegal Senior squad returned to collective training this week.
“All of the squad were tested for Covid-19 and one of the squad has had a positive result.
“These are difficult and trying times for all in the GAA and the wider community. CLG Dhún na nGall urge all club members, particularly players at all age levels, to adhere to the guidelines which have been set out.”
Donegal are due to face Tyrone and Kerry in the remaining two rounds of the Allianz Football next month, before playing Tyrone again in the Ulster football championship quarter-final on November the 1st.
It’s not year clear how the self-isolation of the county panel will affect the Kilcar and Naomh Conaill clubs, who are both preparing for next weekend’s senior championship final.
