PSG suspects two players have COVID-19
Paris Saint-Germain has confirmed two of its players are suspected of having contracted COVID-19.
The 2019-2020 UEFA Champions League finalists are due to start its 2020-2021 Ligue 1 campaign at Lens on 11 September (AEST), with that fixture pushed back at PSG's request after its defeat to Bayern Munich on 24 August.
A brief statement on the club's Twitter account read: "Two players of Paris Saint-Germain are suspected of having COVID-19.
"Their health condition is reassuring. They are already following the dedicated health protocol."
PSG's squad depth is likely to be tested in the early stages of their campaign, with a trip to the Stade Felix Bollaert followed by the visit of arch rivals Marseille to the Parc des Princes three days later.
Thomas Tuchel's men won Ligue 1 on a points-per-game basis after the season was abandoned in April because of the pandemic. They later made it a domestic treble with victories in the Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue finals but were denied an historic quadruple by Bayern in Lisbon.
