Diego Pablo Simeone has tested positive for coronavirus and will remain isolated at his home for two weeks, just when Atlético de Madrid is scheduled to debut for the 2020-21 League season.

The coach is asymptomatic, as reported tonight by Atlético de Madrid.

The first team, coaching staff and auxiliary personnel underwent PCR tests last Friday as soon as they returned from the concentration in Los Angeles de San Rafael after detecting a positive in a member of the expedition in the previous tests carried out on Thursday.

Analysis of these new samples in the laboratory has determined that Simeone is infected with the virus.

Atlético de Madrid also announced that it will not play "as a precaution" the match of the LXVI edition of the Carranza Trophy, which was scheduled for next Tuesday against Cádiz.
