Real Sociedad winger Mikel Oyarzabal has withdrawn from the Spain squad after testing positive for coronavirus.

The 23-year-old confirmed on Sunday that he will be required to isolate at home and will miss La Roja’s upcoming Nations League matches.

Spain face Germany in Stuttgart on September 3 before hosting Ukraine three days later.

“I want to communicate that I’ve had a positive result from my last test,” Oyarzabal, who has seven caps, said via his official Instagram page.

“I have to be at home for a few days and I won’t be able to go to the national team.” (Vanguard)
