Shaqiri tests positive for coronavirus and will not play against Spain

Liverpool's Swiss forward Xherdan Shaqiri has tested positive for Covid-19, is isolated and will not be able to participate in next Saturday's match in Madrid between Spain and Switzerland, corresponding to the League of Nations. “The strict protection measures and requirements for national teams according to the 'UEFA Return to Play Protocol' have been strictly adhered to since the positive was known. Based on this, clarifications are currently being made with the health authorities locals on how to proceed, “the Swiss federation said in a statement on Shaqiri's situation.

The Helvetian becomes the third Liverpool player to test positive for coronavirus in recent days after Sadio Mané and Thiago Alcántara, who has not concentrated with the Spanish team for this reason. Spain will meet in a friendly match with Portugal this Tuesday in Lisbon and will later face two official matches of the Nations League against Switzerland (10), at Real Madrid City in Valdebebas, and Ukraine (13), away.
