Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish is said to be recovering well after being diagnosed with coronavirus.
The 69-year-old was rushed to hospital last week where he received intravenous antibiotics to combat an unrelated infection, but subsequently tested positive for the coronavirus.
He was discharged from hospital to continue his recovery at home on Sunday.
His daughter Kelly Cates has since revealed that Dalglish is, "
"My mum's got a patio that needs jet washing so we need him up and about as soon as possible."
"He's good. He's not quite up and 100% yet but he's not too bad at all."
Glasgow born Dalglish started his career at Celtic, where he won four Scottish top-flight titles and five other domestic honours.
Dalglish moved to Liverpool in 1977 and went on to spend 13 years with the club - five of them as player-manager. During his time at Anfield, the Red experienced significant success, winning six First Division titles and three European Cups.
Dalglish was also manager during the Hillsborough disaster of 1989 where 96 Liverpool fans were unlawfully killed during an FA Cup semi-final. He attended many of the victims' funerals in person and was awarded the freedom of the city in 2016.
Earlier in the week, Dalglish paid tribute to the care that he had received in a statement posted on Liverpool's website.
