PSG superstar Neymar celebrated his late penalty against Marseille by running to the touchline and hugging his manager – a pretty clear message that he was delighted to be working under his wing.
However, despite the significance of the celebration, he might be regretting doing that now, as you think it likely that the COVID-19 will have been in his system at this point in time.
Let’s hope that Pochettino hasn’t passed the virus on to any of the PSG squad, and will complete his period of self-isolation without developing any too serious symptoms.
Get well soon, Poch.
