Telles has been eased into action by Solskjaer since completing a move to Old Trafford from Porto on transfer deadline day earlier this month as he’s yet to make a Premier League appearance for the club.
The Brazilian put-in an excellent display on his full debut during United’s impressive 2-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League group stage opener in France last week.
The 27-year-old was expected to have done enough to keep his place against Chelsea last Sunday but Telles was surprisingly omitted from the squad with Luke Shaw starting during the 0-0 draw at Old Trafford.
Telles was also left out of the squad for Man Utd’s stunning 5-0 Champions League victory over RB Leipzig on Wednesday night sparking speculating that he may have suffered an injury set-back.
However, Solskjaer has revealed that Telles has in fact tested positive for COVID-19 and although he has no symptoms, the full-back will still need to quarantine himself to prevent the spread of the virus.
He’s [Telles] been out now for a little while. He’s tested positive for the coronavirus. But he has no symptoms; he’s fine and we can’t wait to get him back.”
Telles is now set to miss Sunday’s visit of Arsenal to Old Trafford which will be a blow for Manchester United as they look to transfer their Champions League form to the Premier League.
