STANDARD LIEGE have confirmed four positive Coronavirus tests ahead of their clash with Rangers.
Liege were tested following their draw with Club Brugge at the weekend after the league leaders recorded positive cases.
Rangers will begin their Group D campaign in Belgium tomorrow and are set to fly out from Glasgow this afternoon.
A Standard statement read: “Michel-Ange Balikwisha, Nicolas Raskin, Moussa Sissako and our goalkeeper trainer Jan Van Steenberghe have tested positive for Covid 19.
“On Tuesday morning, the entire Rouche delegation underwent a Covid 19 test ahead of Thursday's European match against Rangers FC.
“The results received this morning indicate that Michelangelo, Nicolas, Moussa and Jan are positive.
“The quartet went directly into quarantine and will therefore not participate in the matches this Thursday against Rangers FC and this Sunday at STVV.
“As a precautionary measure, Damjan PAVLOVIC and Abdoul Fessal TAPSOBA, both tested negative, who cohabit and spent the evening yesterday with Moussa SISSAKO, are also excluded from the group pending the results of a new test.”
