JAKARTA - Atletico Madrid's preparations to return to the Champions League competition were a little disrupted. On Sunday, August 9 local time, Los Colchoneros announced the findings of two positive cases of COVID-19.
"Last Saturday, August 8, all members of the first team squad and club staff who plan to leave for Lisbon, Portugal, undergo a PCR test as a prerequisite for the continuation of UEFA's Champions League quarter-finals," said Atletico's official statement as quoted by Antara, Monday.
"Among the results that came out today, there were two positive individuals, who have undergone isolation in their respective homes," the statement continued.
The findings prompted Atletico to request a change in the schedule for using the training facilities in Lisbon previously provided by UEFA.
It is not yet known further the impact of these positive findings on Atletico's participation in the Champions League quarter-finals.
However, Atletico have scheduled yet more thorough tests in their squad before leaving for Lisbon.
Atletico were originally scheduled to face RB Leipzig in the quarter-finals on Thursday, August 13. In the previous round, they managed to get rid of defending champion Liverpool.
