SPAIN defender Diego Llorente has tested negative for Covid-19 and could rejoin training on Friday if further tests are negative.
Leeds’ Llorente and captain Sergio Busquets tested positive earlier this week.
This led to Spain’s Under-21 squad playing their friendly against Lithuania on Tuesday, winning 4-0.
Llorente tested negative on Wednesday, with Spain’s FA suggesting his first test may have been a false positive.
Spain have confirmed they vaccinated the entire squad on Friday morning, three days before their European Championship tournament opener against Sweden.
La Roja manager Luis Enrique had questioned whether the vaccine’s side effects would affect his players before their first match of Euro 2020 on Monday.
