Real Madrid have confirmed that the duo of Eden Hazard and Casemiro have tested positive for Covid-19.

Hazard have struggled since signing for the Los Blancos last season and has made just three appearances this season due to injury but Casemiro has been a mainstay in Zinedine Zidane’s side in midfield.


A statement from the club read: “Real Madrid CF announces that our players Casemiro and Hazard have given positive results in the Covid-19 tests carried out on Friday morning.“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.”
