A day after issuing a message about coronavirus to his vast following, Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi has become the latest footballer to return a positive test.
Copa America champion Messi has endured a nightmare start to 2022, with news that he has contracted the virus surfacing as he was about to resume training with club side Paris Saint-Germain following an injury-hit start to the season.
The 34-year-old idol had posted a message about Covid only a day earlier, using an address to his Instagram following of more than 296 million to give his thoughts on the crisis which has been heightened by the rise of the Omicron variant.
“I can only give thanks for everything that I had to live through in 2021,” said Messi, wishing his admirers well.
