Positive COVID-19 test rules Jasper Cillessen out of Euro 2020

The Hindu  

The Netherlands left first choice goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen out of its European Championship squad after he tested positive for COVID-19 with coach Frank de Boer not prepared to risk how long he needs to recover. Cillessen tested positive in a control test last week and has gone into self-isolation, missing out the week-long training camp in Portugal where the Dutch is preparing for its Group C matches against Austria, North Macedonia and Ukraine. De Boer told Cillessen, who plays for Valencia in La Liga, on Tuesday that he could not include the 32-year-old in the final selection list, which had to be submitted to UEFA by midnight. AZ Alkmaar goalkeeper Marco Bizot, who had previously been added to the training camp so that the Dutch could have an extra goalkeeper on hand, is now part of the official squad.
