Real Madrid centre back Eder Militao is tested positive of COVID-19 ahead of the Champions League clash against Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The Brazilian centre-back, as dictated by UEFA, must submit a negative test six hours before the start of the match or he will be unavailable for Zinedine Zidane in this crucial group-stage fixture.

Once he is tested positive on Tuesday he will be sidelined for the clash, the likes of Dani Carvajal, Alvaro Odriozola and Nacho Fernandez as the defenders unavailable for this clash against Inter.

“Real Madrid C.F. has given a positive result in the COVID-19 tests carried out yesterday, Sunday [November 1] morning,” Los Blancos’ statement read. “All other players and the first team coaching staff, as well as all club employees working directly with them, gave negative results in the same test.

“It is also confirmed once again that everyone, with the exception of Eder Militao, gave negative results in the antigen tests carried out this morning [Monday, November 2].”
