Spanish giants, Real Madrid have announced that no players or staff members have tested positive for coronavirus. News emerged on Tuesday that midfielder Martin Odegaard had reportedly returned a positive test after Madrid’s goalless draw with Real Sociedad.

The 21-year-old took part in training on Tuesday (September 22) and was also in close contact with Sociedad’s players at the weekend.
However, Madrid released a statement on their official website on Wednesday to announce no members of their squad have contracted COVID-19.
“Real Madrid communicates after the latest COVID-19 tests carried out on our first football team and their coaching staff, all the results have been negative,” the statement read.
