Paris St. Germain stated on Tuesday that goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma had tested positive for Covid-19, a day after he played in a French Cup match.
Donnarumma is expected to be replaced by Costa Rican Keylor Navas in Sunday's Ligue 1 match in Lyon.
The 22-year-old Italian international now joins a growing list of PSG players who have been barred from playing due to positive Covid-19 tests.
Five players, including Lionel Messi, Juan Bernat and Danilo Pereira, were away from the team that demolished fourth-tier side Vannes 4-0 on Monday to advance to the last 16 of the French Cup.
Following a rise in infections in France following the release of the Omicron variant, PSG isn't the only company facing a slew of adverse tests.
PSG will travel to face Olympique Lyon in the French Ligue 1 on Sunday, 9th January.
