A Real Madrid star has reportedly tested positive for the coronavirus ahead of their UEFA Champions League clash against Manchester City, a tie he will now miss.
According to Radio Estadio, a Los Blancos player has been forced into self-isolation after testing positive for the highly contagious coronavirus.
It has since been reported that the player is striker Mariano Diaz, who fortunately did not train on Tuesday, and therefore has not had any contact with his teammates or anyone else at the club.
