The striker was confirmed as positive in this international break and Barcelona are waiting to see if Lenglet or Griezmann have been infected.

Barcelona could find itself with a bumpy road ahead in the preparation for the vital match against Atlético Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano.

During the selection with the French national team, the forward Wissam Ben Yedder was confirmed as positive for COVID-19. Despite the fact that the national teams are extremely careful, there is a fear within Barcelona that their 'les bleus' players, Antoine Griezmann and Clément Lenglet, are also infected.

Barca maintains daily and constant contact with both, said 'AS'. Now, the French Federation will test them to see if they can play against Portugal and Sweden or not.

Also dependent on that is whether or not Barca can count on both of them for the visit to Atlético Madrid, in which, if nothing unexpected happens, the team will face Luis Suárez for the first time.

The defender's appearance seems vital to Barca in countering Suárez, because Araujo is still injured and Barcelona does not have many spare players. After the injury of Ansu Fati, the participation of Griezmann also seems to be a given.
