Match of the Day host and Leicester City legend Gary Lineker has gone into self-isolation after his son, George, displayed unusual symptoms related to the coronavirus.

Lineker has been vocal on Twitter, voicing his disdain at the government’s lack of urgency on the subject matter.

The 28-year-old app designer’s situation will no doubt encourage Gary to reiterate his earlier tweet on Sunday stating:

"Can't help feeling we should have been officially locked down by now. So many ignoring/misunderstanding government advice. We're sleepwalking into a nightmare."

Lineker confirmed the news on Monday morning tweeting: "In self isolation as @GeorgeLineker has symptoms. They’re not the regular ones, but complete loss of sense of taste and smell. Odd these have not been pointed out much. Been nearly a week and has spent time at mine. I’ve been vigilant, hand washing/distancing but isolation it is."

In Lineker’s absence, Match of the Day co-pundits have been filling the void, with the next programme discussing the top 10 Premier League captains of all time being broadcast Saturday evening.
