Arsenal without Kolasinac for Leeds after positive COVID-19 test

Arsenal defender Sead Kolasinac has tested positive for coronavirus whilst on international duty with Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The left-back will now miss Sunday's trip Leeds United. He is also a major doubt for the Europa League clash with Molde next Thursday.

A statement from the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday read: "After Ibrahim Šehić, another member of the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina will not be able to play against Italy tonight due to the coronavirus.

"It is about Sead Kolašinac who was retested this morning.

"The results of that test have just arrived, which show that our defender is positive for the SARS-Cov-2 virus."
