Madrid, April 13: Spanish club Real Madrid on Tuesday confirmed that defender Sergio Ramos has tested positive for Covid-19. "Real Madrid CF informs that our player, Sergio Ramos, has tested positive in the last COVID-19 test that he has taken," said the club in an official statement on Tuesday.

The 35-year-old will now be self-isolating for 10 days in accordance with Covid-19 quarantine protocols, and he won't be allowed to return to action until he returns with a negative test.

Ramos had missed the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal against Liverpool last week due to a calf injury, but Zinedine Zidane's side was able to secure a 3-1 victory in his absence. Cristiano Ronaldo Reportedly Gets into a Spat With Teammates Giorgio Chiellini, Federico Chiesa & Others After Juventus Wins 3-1 Against Genoa, Also Punches Wall Out of Frustration (Watch Video).
