BEVERLY HILLS, November 07, (THEWILL) – The pair of Real Madrid players, Belgian central attacking midfielder Eden Hazard and Brazilian defensive midfielder Casemiro have tested positive for the coronavirus. They were, together with other players and staff, tested at Valdebebas on Friday morning.
In a statement to this effect, the club noted:
“Real Madrid C.F. informs that our players, Casemiro and Eden Hazard, have tested positive in the COVID-19 tests undertaken yesterday, Friday, in the morning.
“All of the other first-team players and coaching staff, as well as the club employees who work directly with the squad tested negative in yesterday’s tests. Meanwhile, all of them, apart from Casemiro and Hazard, once again tested negative in the antigen tests taken this morning,” Los Blancos clarified.
The duo will effectively go into self-isolation at home and complete their quarantine period. As a consequence, they are expected to miss Real’s La Liga encounter against Valencia at the Estadio Mestalla on Sunday.
