MADRID, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) -- Real Madrid confirmed on Wednesday that midfielder Luka Modric and left-back Marcelo have both tested positive for COVID-19.

Both players are now in isolation at home, while other players and technical staff have taken PCR tests, although they trained normally on Wednesday.

Marcelo and Modric will now miss this weekend's game against Cadiz, and are both serious doubts for Madrid's visit to play Athletic Bilbao at the San Mames Stadium.

The news comes just days after Real Madrid basketball team coach Pablo Laso and player Thomas Heurtel tested positive for COVID-19, though these are the first infections the football team has suffered since pre-season, when Karim Benzema, David Alaba and Alvaro Odriozola all contracted the virus.
