Nottingham Forest's Greek owner Evangelos Marinakis has written a statement on Instagram confirming that he has contracted the coronavirus.

The 52-year-old, who spends his time between Nottingham and Greece - where he also owns Olympiacos - attended Forest's defeat by Millwall just four days ago, even posing for photos alongside the club's fans.

Writing on Instagram, Marinakis said: 'The recent virus has "visited" me and I felt obliged to let the public know.

'I feel good as I take all the necessary measures and I discipline to the doctors' instructions. I strongly advice (sic) all my fellow citizens to do the same.

'I wish all a quick recovery.'

Forest lost 3-0 to Millwall on Friday night, with Marinakis present in the stands at the City Ground.

It is as yet unclear whether he came into contact with the Nottingham Forest squad either on Friday or in the days following.
