PRAGUE (AP) — Israel midfielder Nir Bitton and three Czech Republic players have tested positive for the coronavirus ahead of their Nations League game.
The three Czech players were not identified and were in isolation, while 16 others — 11 players and five staff members — were retested. Of the 11 players, 10 tested negative and one result was again inconclusive, the Czech Football Association said on Saturday.
Bitton's COVID-19 infection was announced by Scottish club Celtic.
The Czechs play Israel in Haifa on Sunday, and Scotland in Glasgow on Wednesday.
The team was to fly to Israel on Saturday from Cyprus, which hosted the Czechs in a friendly on Wednesday.
