Two positive coronavirus tests have hit Real Madrid for this weekend ahead of their trip to Valencia in La Liga.
Real Madrid have confirmed that Casemiro and Eden Hazard have both tested positive for COVID-19 after taking routine checks.
The rest of Zinedine Zidane’s squad, meanwhile, returned negative results and will be able to travel to the Mestalla on Sunday to face Valencia in their final La Liga fixture before the international break takes place.
Although Eder Militao, who tested positive for COVID-19 himself last week, won’t be available for the Spanish champions either.
