Gudelj named as Sevilla player who tested positive for coronavirus

Sevilla player Nemanja Gudelj has tested positive for the coronavirus, a week before the team's Europa League match against Roma.

The club said the Serbian has not shown any symptoms of COVID-19 and was in good health and isolating at home.

The announcement by Sevilla FC came a day after Real Madrid forward Mariano tested positive for COVID-19 and had to be isolated from the rest of the squad. Madrid play at Manchester City on Aug. 7 in the Champions League.

Sevilla is scheduled to face Roma on Aug. 6 in the round of 16 of the Europa League.

Sevilla confirmed the positive result was discovered on Monday after the entire squad was tested on its return from a break after the end of the Spanish league.
