Many football players have contracted COVID-19 since the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Previously, former Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo tested positive for COVID-19 in October, 2020.
Likewise, Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has tested positive for the coronavirus, the club informed on Tuesday.
Ramos had already been ruled out of Wednesday’s second leg against Liverpool in the Champions League quarterfinals because of a muscle injury.
Madrid’s other starting central defender, Raphael Varane, also won’t play in England because of a positive test. He also missed last week’s first leg, which Madrid won 3-1.
Other Madrid absences on Wednesday include Lucas Vázquez, who hurt his knee at the weekend clásico against Barcelona, and Eden Hazard, who is yet to regain his fitness following a series of injuries.
