Marcelo Brozovic and ‘one member of the wider staff of the national team’ tested positive for Covid-19 while on international duty with Croatia, the country’s FA confirmed on Friday.
Thus, Luka Modric remains coronavirus negative.
Earlier this week it was suggested that the Real Madrid midfielder had been in touch with Croatia teammate Domagoj Vida who tested positive for the disease on Wednesday.
As Casemiro and Valverde are currently out, losing Modric through Covid restrictions could be a huge blow for the Whites.
