Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - The national soccer players Jonas Hofmann and Marcel Halstenberg have to go into quarantine with the DFB team after a positive Corona test by Hofmann.

"In addition to the national player Jonas Hofmann, who tested positive for Covid-19, Marcel Halstenberg, who was classified as a category 1 contact person in the context of the contact tracing, must also be quarantined in the quarters of the DFB team", it said in one Announcement from the German Football Association on Thursday.

Before the World Cup qualifier against Iceland, the DFB team had a positive PCR test.

Both professionals will now be isolated after returning to their hometowns.

"All other players and the team behind the team were tested negative again on Thursday," said the DFB.

After the positive result became known, the medical department of the DFB carried out a new series of rapid antigen tests on all players, the coaching staff and the entire support team.

The first international match of 2021 can therefore be attacked on Thursday at 8.45 p.m. in Duisburg.

Hofmann from Borussia Mönchengladbach and Halstenberg from RB Leipzig are also unavailable for the following World Cup eliminations on Sunday in Bucharest against Romania and three days later in Duisburg against North Macedonia.
