Former Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien has been forced to deny that he's contracted ebola.
A Nigerian newspaper claimed to have confirmation from his current club AC Milan that the Ghanaian was suffering from the deadly disease.

But the Italians say that's "totally unfounded", and Essien has tweeted that he'll be training as normal tomorrow.
The latest reported Ebola victim is a nurse in Texas who contracted the disease from one of her patients.
Over 4,000 people have already died from the virus which is spread by bodily fluids.
