MADRID: Spain defender Diego Llorente has tested positive for Covid-19, the national team said early on Wednesday, five days before their Euro 2020 opener. Spain captain Sergio Busquets had tested positive on Sunday and Spanish FA (RFEF) President Luis Rubiales warned more cases were likely. Both players had left the team's camp, while the rest of the squad continue to prepare for the tournament, the federation said. The squad and coaching staff immediately went into isolation following Busquets' positive test on Sunday, meaning their under-21 team and coach stepped in to face Lithuania on Tuesday, claiming a 4-0 victory in a friendly.
