“Three players are confirmed positive after a Sars CoV2 test and have undergone the appropriate health protocols. All players and staff will continue to be tested over the next few days,” read the post from the club.
It comes after the club announced on Monday that two unnamed players tested positive for Covid-19 and had subsequently gone into quarantine.
The defending French champions are set to open their 2020-21 Ligue 1 campaign away at RC Lens on Sept. 10 before facing Olympique de Marseille at home at the Parc des Princes in Paris three days later, on Sept. 13.
PSG only finished the 2019-2020 season on Aug. 23, losing to German champions Bayern Munich 1-0 in the Champions League final, the biggest club match in world soccer. Some of soccer’s biggest stars, including Brazil’s Neymar and France’s Kylian Mbappé, play for the Qatari-owned club.
