Neymar is one of three Paris Saint-Germain stars to have contracted the coronavirus, a well-placed source told AFP, after the Champions League runners-up announced several positive tests.

“Three Paris Saint-Germain players have confirmed positive Sars CoV2 tests and are subject to the appropriate health protocol,” PSG said in a statement.

The cases would appear to be linked to a holiday trip to Ibiza that several PSG players took following the Champions League final defeat by Bayern Munich.
