Is Atletico Madrid about to take a hard blow, just before the Champions League quarter-final match on Thursday against Red Bull Leipzig to be held in Portugal? The Colchoneros announced tonight (Sunday) that before leaving for Lisbon for the UEFA flash tournament, two positive cases of Corona were discovered at the club.

For now, it is not yet known if these are players. Anyway as the medical health protocol dictates, the two have gone into isolation and now all members of the group will be given further tests.
