An unnamed Sevilla player has tested positive for Covid-19, just eight days before their return to Europa League action.

A statement on the Spanish club’s website said the player was "in good health and is isolating at home" after returning a positive test on Monday.

The Liga side face Roma in a one-off Europa League last 16 match on August 6.

Sevilla training has been temporarily suspended while their facilities are disinfected.
