Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish has been released from hospital after being diagnosed with coronavirus last week.

Dalglish, who did not suffer from any symptoms, was routinely tested for coronavirus after being admitted to hospital on Wednesday for treatment of an infection which required intravenous antibiotics.

Writing in The Sunday Post, Sir Kenny described the hospital workers who treated him as "absolutely brilliant".

"People may think my name got me the best of care but every patient in the NHS gets the best of care," Dalglish wrote.

"As a nation, we are lucky to have them and I wish them all well as they work tirelessly to help the country through this pandemic."

The Scot now is recovering in self-isolation at home.
