Neymar And 2 Other PSG Players Test Postive For COVID-19 After Partying In Spain

After the two players Angel di Maria and Leo Paredes, are tested positive from their holiday in Ibiza (Spain), now the fans and leaders of PSG are "sitting on the fire" when superstar Neymar also tested positive for Covid-19.

Although the names of the players were not named by PSG, it was reported by the sports journal L'Équipe that Neymar is indeed among the infected cases.

Reportedly, a group of PSG players had gathered to party in Ibiza during the short break after the Champions League finale ended. They were taking a short break off there after losing to Bayern.

In addition to Neymar, Di Maria, and Parades, midfielder Ander Herrera, striker Mauro Icardi, and goalkeeper Keylor Navas are the remaining three names that attended the party.

Although PSG has not announced all results of the test, people are still anxious that the Argentinian striker, Mauro Icardi, maybe the next person to have the highest risk of contracting the disease. The club informed that the remaining of the coaching staff and the squad "will continue to undergo tests in the coming days."

According to the rules of the French Football Federation, the League 1 defending champion PSG may be forced to postpone the first game of the new season, which was scheduled to take place at Lens on September 10, if one of the remaining three footballers’ tests result turns out to be positive.

Before that, in the semi-final against RB Leipzig, after he and his PSG teammates overcame their opponents for the first time in the Champions League final, Neymar Jr. has swapped his shirt with player Marcel Halstenberg.

According to the rules issued by UEFA after soccer is allowed to return, this act of Neymar is the violation of the COVID-19 prevention protocol. The player who violates this rule will not be able to play for a round and will have to self-quarantine for 12 days. Luckily, Neymar finally could accompany his teammates at the finale although they were not able to achieve the desired goal.

However, the partying habit of the Brazilian star amid the chaotic time of fighting against the pandemic earned him a bitter result.
