Two Atletico Madrid players test positive for coronavirus

The two positive coronavirus cases reported in the Atletico Madrid camp have both been returned by players, Goal can confirm.

News broke on Sunday that two members of the party set to travel to the Champions League quarter-finals in Portugal had tested positive for the virus, but there was no further indication whether those effected were members of the playing or backroom staff.

Goal has learned that two members of Diego Simeone’s squad, however, are responsible for the two positive tests and, as such, will not travel to Portugal or take part in the remainder of the competition.
