Real Madrid player Dani Carvajal tested positive for Covid-19, according to the latest tests carried out by the meringues, and will thus miss the Spanish Super Cup final against Athletic, next Sunday.
Carvajal played the full 90 minutes of the game against Barcelona, which marked his return to the starting lineup five games later (he was absent from four league games and one for the Copa del Rey), being replaced at the start of extra time by Lucas Vázquez.
So far, the Spanish international was one of the few athletes on the squad, along with Mendy, Ceballos and Lucas, who had not yet contracted the SARS-CoV2 virus.
