Wayne Rooney: Derby County forward tests negative for Covid-19 but must self-isolate

Derby County forward Wayne Rooney will have to self-isolate for 10 days after a friend who visited him at home on Thursday tested positive for Covid-19.

The former England captain, 34, has confirmed he does not have the virus himself but will still have to miss Derby’s next three matches.

Rooney last played in the Rams’ 1-0 league defeat by Watford on Friday.

Derby say Rooney must self-isolate until Thursday, 29 October in line with UK government and EFL guidelines.
