MADRID:
Atletico Madrid
goalkeeper
Jan Oblak has tested positive for
Covid-19
, the Spanish club announced on Tuesday.
Oblak "has tested positive for Covid-19," Atletico said in a brief statement.
"Our goalkeeper remains isolated, strictly complying with the recommendations of the health authorities," the club added.
Oblak's positive test has come during a break in the
La Liga
season while countries outside of Europe play qualifying games for the World Cup finals in Qatar later this year.
But Atletico will be desperate to have Oblak back for their next league game against
Barcelona
on February 6, which could prove crucial in the race for La Liga's top four.
Atletico Madrid are presently fourth in the table, one point above Barca in fifth.
