Celtic are 'hopeful' Kris Ajer and Mohamed Elyounoussi will not be asked to isolate for 10 days after a positive coronavirus test in Norway‘s squad forced their Nations League game against Romania to be cancelled. The pair returned to Scotland on Sunday, after the Norway squad were ordered by government and health officials not to travel to Bucharest following a positive test for defender Omar Elabdellaoui. However, Celtic sources told Sky Sports News Ajer and Elyounoussi have not been identified as close contacts of Elabdellaoui, and have returned three negative tests since the latter tested positive. Norwegian health authorities banned the national team from travelling to Romania and ordered the entire squad to quarantine for 10 days after Elabdellaoui's positive test. If that is the case then Northern Ireland would be consigned to the bottom of the table and relegation from League B.
