Militao to miss Real Madrid's Champions League clash with Inter after testing positive for coronavirus

Eder Militao will miss Real Madrid's Champions League clash with Inter after testing positive for coronavirus.

Militao has been diagnosed with Covid-19 after the club's latest round of medical checks, having played the full 90 minutes of a 4-1 victory over Huesca on Saturday.

The 22-year-old will now be forced to self-isolate for the next 10 days, but Madrid have confirmed that he is the only member of the first-team squad to have contracted the illness.

"Real Madrid CF announces that our player Eder Militao has given a positive result in the Covid-19 tests carried out yesterday Sunday morning," a statement on the Blancos' official website reads.
