Paris St Germain defender Alessandro Florenzi has tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss its Champions League quarterfinal first leg at Bayern Munich, the French club said on Monday.

Florenzi's teammate and fellow Italy international Marco Verratti is also out of Wednesday's game in Munich after testing positive on Friday.

In France, a positive test for the novel coronavirus triggers a mandatory 10-day quarantine.

PSG tweeted Florenzi had been self-isolating for a few days as a precaution and would continue to do so as per health protocols.
