Raphael Varane has been ruled out of Real Madrid’s Champions League clash with Liverpool on Tuesday evening after testing positive for Covid-19.
The Spanish champions are already without their captain Sergio Ramos due to a calf injury, while Eden Hazard and Dani Carvajal are also sidelined.
Madrid’s players all took a routine test for coronavirus on Tuesday morning and the Spanish club have confirmed that Varane, who trained with his teammates on Monday, has returned with a positive test.
A brief statement from Madrid on Tuesday afternoon read: ‘Real Madrid CF informs that our player Raphael Varane has given a positive result in the COVID-19 test that has been carried out this morning.’
Varane has begun his isolation period but will be unavailable for the second leg against Liverpool at Anfield next Wednesday, as well as the Clasico against Barcelona on Saturday.
