Moussa Dembele has tested positive for Covid-19 in an outbreak at new club Atletico Madrid. The French striker made the move to the Spanish capital in the January window on loan from parent club Lyon.
But he's yet to make his Rojiblancos debut under manager Diego Simeone, being named only as an unused substitute for three separate La Liga games.
And he's set to wait even longer after he was confirmed to have the virus in a round of testing on Thursday.He is now the fourth player in the squad to test positive along with Portuguese superstar Joao Felix, winger Yannick Carrasco and defender Mario Hermoso.Atleti stated the 24-year-old is isolating at home and, alongside the other three players, will miss Monday's match at home to Celta.
