India midfielder Navjot Kaur's campaign at the Commonwealth Games came to an abrupt end as she is set to fly back home after testing positive for COVID-19.
The 27-year-old from Kurukshetra had been in isolation for the past two days. Sonika replaces her in the 18-member Indian women's squad. India opened their campaign with a 5-0 win over Ghana on Friday. "She has been kept in isolation. Her CT value is not infectious and she has no symptoms. She tested +ve in the first test but in the second test her CT value improved and she can't infect others. She has been cleared to fly back home by the organisers," said a team source.
