Spain defender Diego Llorente tests negative for Covid and could return to training

Spain defender Diego Llorente has tested negative for Covid-19 and could rejoin training on Friday if further tests are negative.

Leeds’ Llorente and captain Sergio Busquets tested positive earlier this week.

This led to Spain’s Under-21 squad playing their friendly against Lithuania on Tuesday, winning 4-0.

Llorente tested negative on Wednesday, with Spain’s FA suggesting his first test may have been a false positive.

Spain will make a decision on Thursday evening about whether the squad will be vaccinated before their European Championship campaign.

Vaccinations will either take place on Friday or not at all – the decision will be based on potential side effects causing players problems before their Euro 2020 opener against Sweden on Monday.
