Aston Villa goalkeeper Pepe Reina admits he showed symptoms of the coronavirus last week.

The former Liverpool star is currently self-isolating like many Premier League players but admitted he 'went through the bug' last week, although he has not been officially diagnosed with the illness.

He said "everything pointed" to him having the disease but insisted that he was in a fortunate position of having a larger house where he can keep the virus at bay.

"Last week it was my turn to go through the bug," he told radio station Cope. "It has been a different week, of taking precautions not to infect the people who live with me.

"Here tests are not conducted unless you are [in a] very bad [state]. Speaking to the doctors, the symptoms I had were of it, without official confirmation of it but everything pointed to it.

"We are very privileged people. We have a big house, with a garden. I think of the people who live in a 70m2 apartment with two children and for me they are people who are showing a lot of strength."
