(Reuters) - Leicester City centre back Caglar Soyuncu missed Saturday's 2-0 Premier League defeat by Manchester City because he tested positive for COVID-19 while playing for Turkey in their 2022 World Cup qualifiers, manager Brendan Rodgers said.
Soyuncu, who played in Turkey's 3-3 draw with Latvia on Tuesday, is isolating in Turkey. The 24-year-old has made 16 league appearances for Leicester this season.
