(PARIS) According to a report from French outlet L'Equipe, Neymar and two other players from Paris Saint-Germain F.C. have tested positive for COVID-19.

PSG didn't specifically mention Neymar but confirmed three players tested positive.

The club said in a statement, "Three players are confirmed positive after a Sars CoV2 test and have undergone the appropriate health protocols. All players and staff will continue to be tested over the next few days,” according to NBC Sports.

Previous reports suggest Angel di Maria and Leandro Paredes were the other two players. All three players went on vacation in Ibiza, Spain, following PSG's loss to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League final held in Lisbon, Portugal, on Aug. 23.

According to L'Equipe, all three players will undergo a one-week quarantine, which would be enough time to make PSG's next game, scheduled for Sept. 10.
