This was his statement
“Hi guys,
Unfortunately I recently tested positive for COVID-19.
As a result, I will not be able to prepare and get myself ready for the Olympic Games in Tokyo. I am hugely disappointed and currently self-isolating according to the guidelines as set out by the government.
I want to wish the entire GB team all the very best for the games and look forward to being back on court in the near future.”
