Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has confirmed that he has tested positive for coronavirus.

The 52-year-old attended Forest's Championship game against Millwall last Friday but it is yet to be confirmed if he came into contact with the players.

Marinakis was reportedly also at the Emirates on February 27th when Olympiacos beat Arsenal in the last 32 of the Europa League.

The Greek businessman insists he is following the advice of doctors regarding self-isolation and released a statement on Instagram to confirm the news.

Marinakis also owns Greek club Olympiacos, who are due to play Wolves in Athens on Thursday in the last 16 of the Europa League.

That game will be played behind closed doors at the Karaiskakis Stadium.

Marinakis will not be able to attend matches for two weeks due to the government’s advice to self-isolate for at least two weeks.
