Carrasco and Mario Hermoso test positive

Atlético Madrid have confirmed the positive of Mario Hermoso and Yannick Carrasco. Both players didn't train on Friday's session for precaution and, according to 'Marca' because their PCR test results were non-conclusive.

So the club have informed that both the defender and Belgian attacker have tested positive for the coronavirus in the tests they underwent on Friday, so they are automatically absences for Diego Simeone.

"Our players @CarrascoY21 and @mariohermoso5 have tested positive for COVID-19. They're isolating at home, in compliance with the health authorities’ guidelines and LaLiga protocols", the Atlético statement said.

They will therefore miss the clash against Cádiz and will have to quarantine until they give a double negative with which they will be able to train again with their teammates.
