Neither Diego Costa nor Arias will join Atlético's preseason, which starts this Friday.
Both underwent the PCR test on their own during their vacations outside Madrid and tested positive.
Both the forward and the defender are asymptomatic and are in quarantine.
It is the fifth case that is registered in the rojiblanco team after those of Lodi, in May, and Vrsaljko and Correa, less than a month ago.
The rest of the athletic squad underwent PCR tests on Thursday, before returning to work on Friday to start the preseason.
The rojiblancos return after three weeks of vacation, since the elimination in the quarterfinals of the Champions League against Leipzig.
It will be an atypical preseason, which will start in the Ciudad Deportiva de Majadahonda and will continue, starting next Monday, in
Los Angeles de San Rafael
, where the team will concentrate to assume the base of the physical load and the set-up for the new course.
On this first day, those who meet with their respective teams have not been there either.
Up to eight players have started training with their national team earlier than with Atlético.
Namely: goalkeepers Jan Oblak and Ivo Gbric;
wingers Sime Vrsaljko, Kieran Trippier and Manu Sánchez;
central Stefan Savic and striker Joao Félix, as well as Yannick Carrasco, of whom the club has been finalizing its continuity for days with an agreement with Chinese Dalian.
