Ryan Sessegnon is forced out of the England Under 21 squad and into a period of self-isolation

Ryan Sessegnon has been forced to leave the England Under-21 squad and return to Hoffenheim to quarantine. 

Due to a number of positive cases involving Hoffenheim players, German authorities have requested that all of their players quarantine until further notice.

Sessegnon did, however, return a negative Covid test on Tuesday despite a number his Bundesliga teammates testing positive for the virus.

Players such as Sebastian Rudy and Ishak Belfodil as well as a staff member tested positive on Wednesday morning. 

Robert Skov (Denmark) and Munas Dabbur (Israel) also tested positive at their national team camps on Tuesday. 

While it is believed that Jacob Bruun Larsen has also been sidelined due to the virus.

The Bundesliga takes a break at the weekend for international matches and resumes again in 10 days.

‘We cannot explain this frequency,’ Alexander Rosen, Hoffenheim’s head of pro football, said in a statement.

‘We have been sticking for months with great detail to all the health guidelines. That is how we came through months without a positive test during the pandemic that is now hitting us hard.’

In October, Hoffenheim’s Andrej Kramaric and Kasim Adams returned after another international break and tested positive for the virus
