The statement revealed that the two players to test positive were forward Angel Correa and injured defender Sime Vrsjalko, who will miss the trip and were isolating at home, adding that the pair were both asymptomatic. "The first team squad and coaching staff underwent COVID-19 tests on Sunday and they all came back negative, after two positive tests were registered following the previous tests on Saturday," said Atletico's statement. "In keeping with health protocols, those who share a home with the two players who tested positive also received tests, which came back negative. "The club's medical services have been authorised by the two players to reveal their identity in order to end speculation." Atletico did not register any positive cases for the virus when La Liga re-started in June after a three-month hiatus due to the pandemic as the top-flight was successfully completed without any major incidents.
