Ivan Perisic has tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss Croatia’s Euro 2020 round-of-16 fixture against Spain on Monday, June 28.
The Croatian FA has confirmed Perisic will spend 10 days in self-isolation, meaning he will also miss their potential quarter-final and semi-final fixtures on July 2 and July 6 respectively, should they progress that far in the competition.
It was also confirmed that all other Croatia players and staff have tested negative and will fly to Copenhagen ahead of Monday’s fixture, with Perisic remaining in the Croatian city of Pula.

Vizeweltmeister Kroatien muss vor dem EM-Achtelfinale gegen Spanien einen schweren Rückschlag wegstecken. Der frühere Bundesliga-Star Ivan Perisic hat sich mit dem Coronavirus infiziert und fehlt damit in jedem Fall im Spiel am Montag (18.00 Uhr/ZDF und Magenta TV) in Kopenhagen.
Perisic sei sofort von seinen Teamkollegen isoliert worden und habe sich in eine zehntägige Quarantäne begeben, teilte der kroatische Fußball-Verband in der Nacht zum Sonntag mit. Alle anderen Mitglieder des kroatischen EM-Kaders sowie Trainer und Betreuer seien negativ getestet worden.
