  • Rodgers is still being tested twice a week

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers says he had the coronavirus and compared its effects to how he felt climbing Kilimanjaro.

Rodgers says he fell ill “a week or so” after the English season was suspended on March 13 and later tested positive for the virus. He says he felt the effects of it for three weeks.

Rodgers says “the strangest thing was losing your smell and the taste. You lose your strength. You could hardly walk 10 yards. I felt it was similar to the time I was climbing Kilimanjaro. When you get to a certain point at altitude, you walk and really suffer.”

The former Liverpool manager is still being tested twice a week according to the Premier League’s coronavirus protocols.

Rodgers says “it’s not the case that now I’ve had it, I wouldn’t test. You just never know.”
