Atletico Madrid will travel to Lisbon today ahead of their Champions League tie with RB Leipzig, after a second round of CPR testing came back negative.
The club confirmed Sunday that two members of their delegation tested positive for Covid-19 at the weekend, with Sime Vrsaljko and Angel Correa subsequently confirmed as the two involved.
The pair are both isolating at home, under supervision of the club’s medical staff, and will not return to training until two consecutive negative tests come are produced.
Other members of the squad returned to first team training on Monday afternoon but will not be permitted to return to their homes ahead of the flight to Lisbon.
