“All of the players and coaching staff will continue to undergo tests in the coming days,” PSG said in a statement.

Earlier on Monday, the club had announced that two unidentified players in the team were showing signs of the COVID-19 infection.

“Two PSG players are suspected of infection with Covid-19. Their state of health is quite reassuring. They have already been subjected to the appropriate health protocol,” it had said in a statement.

Reports suggest that Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes may be the duo suspected to have COVID-19. The duo had reportedly spent the holidays together in Ibiza, which had its share of COVID-19 cases.
