Five Barcelona players and two members of the coaching staff tested positive for Covid-19 at the start of the pandemic, according to Catalan radio station RAC1.
All of those affected were asymptomatic and have since been given the all-clear. Barcelona are currently gearing up to make their La Liga return on June 13 against Real Mallorca.
RAC1 report the positive results came from the first wave of tests. The players were tested again before being allowed to return to individual training at the start of May and once more ahead of beginning group training. All tests came back negative, according to Sport.
La Liga is set to become the latest major European league to restart after being given the green light to return after a three-month suspension by the Spanish government.
