PSG rocked by THREE more positive coronavirus tests with ‘Mauro Icardi, Marquinhos and Navas’ contracting Covid-19
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN have been rocked by three more positive coronavirus tests a week before their season is due to start.
And reports state Mauro Icardi, Marquinhos and Keylor Navas are the first-team stars to contract the disease.
PSG tweeted on Thursday evening: "The latest tests carried out within the Paris Saint-Germain squad confirm the result of three new positive cases.
"These players follow the appropriate health protocol.";
That follows the news from earlier this week that Neymar, Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes also caught Covid-19.
According to , Marquinhos experienced flu-like symptoms for two days.
The Brazilian, 26, and Icardi, 27, went to Ibiza with team-mates Neymar, Di Maria, Paredes and Marco Verratti.
Only the Italian is thought to have returned a negative test but did apparently contract the virus earlier in the year.
But with six first-team players now in isolation, PSG's match next week is in serious doubt.
The Champions League finalists are due to begin their Ligue 1 defence with a trip to Lens on Thursday night.
