RIYADH (Reuters) - Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal has tested positive for COVID-19 while the team is in Saudi Arabia playing in the Spanish Super Cup, the club confirmed on Friday.

A Real Madrid spokesman told Reuters that the club is consulting the Saudi authorities to learn what procedures to follow. The club confirmed that the player had been vaccinated against COVID-19.

Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales confirmed on Friday that there are unvaccinated players at the tournament. "We are being criticised for doing that but we would also be if eight or 10 players missed the tournament... In life, it doesn't matter what you do, everything is going to be criticised. We are happy that Saudi Arabia understood our exceptions."

Lodi entered Saudi Arabia on Tuesday and played against Athletic Bilbao later on Thursday in the tournament's second semi-final.
