Possibly false-positive test for Llorente

Spain's association said on Thursday that confirmatory PCR tests carried out the day before had come back negative. A further counter-analysis confirmed this again. There are therefore “serious indications” that the Leeds United professional’s positive result on Tuesday was a false-positive result. Llorente had to immediately leave the Spaniards' European Championship headquarters in Las Rozas near Madrid and go into quarantine after captain Sergio Busquets tested positive on Sunday. Llorente will now undergo further PCR tests on Thursday and Friday. If the negative result is confirmed, the 27-year-old could take part in the national team's training sessions again on Friday afternoon, according to the association. Vaccination for prevention The Spaniards will play their European Championship opener next Monday in Seville against Sweden. In the wake of the two positive Corona findings, coach Luis Enrique has already put together a parallel squad with 17 other players in addition to the European Championship squad. The players are now scheduled to be vaccinated against the coronavirus on Friday. The vaccinations will be carried out by the military in Las Rozas from 10.00 a.m., the Spanish national association announced on Thursday afternoon. The association thanked the government for its approval. It remained unclear how many players would be vaccinated. Some professionals had already received a vaccine from their clubs or had recovered from an infection. According to the announcement, an individual decision should be made as to which vaccine they will receive, depending on the player.
