Brazilian star Neymar and his colleague Di Maria were infected with the Corona virus

Brazilian soccer star Neymar was infected with the new Corona virus, according to what sources said today, as a result of the examination that the French Paris Saint-Germain striker underwent.


The French champions had announced that three players in their ranks had been infected with the "Covid-19" virus, without naming them.

The sources added that the other players infected with the virus are the Argentine Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes, which was mentioned by the newspaper "L'Equipe".

"Three players have been confirmed injured, and they are subject to the appropriate health protocol. The players and staff will continue to undergo tests in the coming days," the European champion runner-up wrote on his Twitter account.

Therefore, the three players will be absent from the club’s first match in the domestic league on the current 10, in front of Lens and perhaps from the upcoming meeting in front of its guest Marseille on the 13th of it.

And the French capital club had previously announced, on Monday, two suspected cases of the Corona virus among its players, without revealing their names after they showed symptoms of the epidemic.

The local "L'Equipe" newspaper revealed that the players may be Di Maria and Paredes before confirming that the third player is Neymar.
