Paris St Germain defender Alessandro Florenzi has tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss their Champions League quarter-final first leg at Bayern Munich, the French club said on Monday.
Florenzi’s team mate and fellow Italy international Marco Verratti is also out of Wednesday’s game in Munich after testing positive on Friday.
In France, a positive test for the novel coronavirus triggers a mandatory 10-day quarantine.
PSG tweeted that Florenzi had been self-isolating for a few days as a precaution and would continue to do so as per health protocols.
Suite au dernier test PCR Sars-Cov2, Alessandro Florenzi est confirmé positif.
Il va donc respecter l’isolement et est soumis au protocole sanitaire approprié. Pour rappel, le joueur était à l’isolement depuis quelques jours par précaution.
