Paris Saint-Germain team-mates, Neymar, Angel Di Maria, and Leandro Paredes have reportedly tested positive for Coronavirus.

The Ligue 1 champions did not name the players involved, but Neymar, Angel Di Maria, and Leandro Paredes are believed to be the three players to have tested positive, as reported by French outlet, L’Equipe.

The three players have been holidaying in Ibiza following the club’s defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League final on August 23.

A club statement read: ‘Three PSG-English players are confirmed positive after a Sars CoV2 test and have undergone the appropriate health protocols,’

‘All players and staff will continue to be tested over the next few days.’

All three players will now spend time in quarantine and may likely miss the first PSG fixture of the new season against Lens on September 10.
