LIVERPOOL LEGEND KENNY Kenny Dalglish has tested positive for coronavirus after being admitted to hospital this week, the Premier League club has announced.
The 69-year-old, perhaps the most iconic figure in the Reds’ history, entered hospital on Wednesday for treatment on an infection which, a club statement says, required intravenous antibiotics.
In keeping with current procedures, Dalglish was subsequently tested for Covid-19 despite having previously displayed no symptoms of the illness. The test result returned positive but he remains asymptomatic.
Liverpool’s statement says that prior to his admission to hospital, Dalglish had chosen to voluntarily self-isolate for longer than the advised period together with his family, and that “he would urge everyone to follow the relevant government and expert guidance in the days and weeks ahead.”
It added: “He would like to take this opportunity to thank the brilliant NHS staff, whose dedication, bravery and sacrifice should be the focus of the nation’s attention at this extraordinary time.

Arguably the greatest player in Liverpool’s history, Dalglish made 515 appearances for the club after signing from Celtic in 1977, scoring 172 goals.
As a player, he won five league titles, three European Cups and four League Cups and was named FWA Footballer of the Year twice.
He took over as player/manager in 1985, and in his first season in charge led his side to their first and only League and FA Cup double.
