Monaco forward Wissam Ben Yedder has tested positive for coronavirus and will miss France's Nations League games against Portugal and Sweden, the French Football Federation announced on Thursday. The FFF said Ben Yedder had tested positive earlier in the day, did not participate in training at the Stade de France and would go into self-isolation. He started Wednesday's 2-0 friendy defeat by Finland. Several French players have contracted Covid-19 in recent months, including Paul Pogba, Steve Mandanda, Houssem Aouar, Leo Dubois and Kylian Mbappe. The World Cup holders, who trail Portugal in Group A3 on goal difference, take on the European champions in Lisbon on Saturday before hosting Sweden in their final group game three days later. ama/jde/jc/td
