Real Madrid player risks jail after breaking coronavirus lockdown in Paraguay

Real Madrid forward Sergio Diaz faces the risk of being jailed after he was caught as part of a raid at the house of an international team-mate.

Diaz, on loan with Cerro Porteno in his native Paraguay, was found by police at the home of team-mate Sebastian Ferreira after prosecutor Laura Romero led a raid due to suspicions of a large gathering.

Several players were among a gathering of people involved in a game of volleyball, according to video obtained by ABC, with neighbours having reported parties to police frequently since March.
