By AFP More by this AuthorLONDONLeicester City manager Brendan Rodgers said Friday that being afflicted with the coronavirus was akin to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. The Northern Irish boss is the second Premier League manager to confirm he had suffered with Covid-19 after Arsenal's Mikel Arteta also tested positive in March. "I could hardly walk and it reminded me of walking up Mount Kilimanjaro, as you climb higher you get more breathless," Rodgers told BBC Radio Leicester. The 47-year-old former Liverpool and Celtic manager added his wife had contracted the virus as well. "We were tested and both of us were detected with the virus."
