Rangers forward Ianis Hagi has returned a positive coronavirus test while on international duty with Romania.
The 22-year old is in their World Cup qualifying squad and set up a goal in their 2-0 win over Liechtenstein at the weekend.
However, his governing body have now released a statement saying he has returned a positive Covid-19 test.
He will now sit out of their match against North Macedonia and looks likely to miss Rangers' clash with St Johnstone on Saturday.
The FRF also confirmed in their statement Hagi previously returned negative tests when joining up with the squad.
It read: "Today (Tuesday) around noon, Ianis Hagi complained of slight headaches in the Skopje national team's camp.
"He performed a quick test under the coordination of the medical staff of the national team and the result is positive.
"The player immediately went into isolation. Until today, on the occasion of this action of the national team, Ianis had performed 5 Covid tests, all with a negative result."
