"We've had a few players that have shown symptoms and signs [of coronavirus]," Rodgers said in a news conference on Thursday. "We've followed procedures and [as a precaution] they have been kept away from the squad.

"We have a fantastic medical team here at the club that gives guidance to the players and staff and everyone. It's been made pretty clear about what we should look out for."

The Premier League's next round of fixtures -- scheduled for this weekend -- are due to go ahead as planned.

The world of football has been heavily affected by the growing coronavirus outbreak. La Liga announced on Thursday that the first and second divisions have been suspended for the next two matchdays following the coronavirus outbreak.

The decision came after Real Madrid were placed into quarantine and all activity at their training complex was cancelled after one of the club's basketball players tested positive.

Meanwhile, Juventus defender Daniele Rugani has tested positive for the coronavirus, the Italian club announced on Wednesday, and is the most prominent professional footballer to test positive for the virus. German side Hannover also that defender Timo Hubers has tested positive.
