Real Madrid announced on Saturday that the Belgian winger Eden Hazard and Brazilian midfielder Casemiro tested positive for coronavirus as the duo will miss Sunday's match against Valencia as they undergo a period of self-isolation.
The Spanish champions tested their players for Covid-19 ahead of the Liga match against Valencia on Sunday.
Hazard, who has featured in just three games in 2020-21 after missing the first weeks of the campaign with an injury, will face another spell on the sidelines after receiving a positive coronavirus test result.
"Real Madrid CF announces that our players Casemiro and Hazard have given positive results in the Covid-19 tests carried out on Friday morning," Real Madrid said in a statement.
"All the other players and the coaching staff of the first team, as well as all club employees who work directly with them, gave negative results in that same test carried out yesterday."
"Likewise, it is confirmed again that all, except for Casemiro and Hazard, have given negative results in the antigen tests carried out this morning," the statement concluded.
