Paris SG’s Argentine star Lionel Messi has tested positive for COVID-19, the club announced Sunday on the eve of a French Cup match in Vannes.

Leo Messi, fullback Juan Bernat, goalkeeper Sergio Rico and midfielder Nathan Bitumazala “are currently complying with the isolation and are subject to the appropriate health protocol,” the club added.

The Argentine footballer was rested on December 19 for PSG’s previous French Cup match, whose next Ligue 1 match is scheduled for January 9 in Lyon.

Messi remained in Argentina to observe his period of isolation, said Sunday the coach of the Parisian club, Mauricio Pochettino in press conference.
