Official order: Bailey stays in Jamaica
Werkself player Leon Bailey is unable to take part in the coronavirus testing with the Bayer 04 Leverkusen first team on Friday.
As the planned return flight for the striker on Wednesday night from Jamaica was unable to start, the 23-year-old had to undergo self isolation for 14 days on the Caribbean island after his contact with the Olympic champion Usain Bolt who has Covid-19. The Jamaican authorities prevented Bailey's flight with a chartered aircraft taking off for Germany due to the local coronavirus regulations.
