Real Sociedad's new signing David Silva has tested positive for COVID-19.
The 34 year-old, who joined the LaLiga side this month after leaving Manchester City, is asymptomatic and has already begun a period of self-isolation.
News the midfielder has contracted coronavirus came just hours after he was presented to the media at Sociedad's Reale Arena.
The club tweeted: "Sociedad informs that @21LVA has tested positive for COVID-19 in the test carried out at Policlínica Gipuzkoa.
"The player is asymptomatic and is self-isolating."
Sociedad's LaLiga campaign kicks off with a trip to Real Valladolid on 13 September.
