Raphael Varane is out of tonight's Champions League clash against Liverpool at the Spaniards' home ground after being tested positive for Covid-19. This is confirmed by Real Madrid on its website this afternoon:

Real Madrid CF states that our player Raphael Varane has been tested positive for Covid-19, which was performed this morning.

The rules around a positive test mean that Varane has isolated himself from the outside world, and he will probably remain in the isolation for more than a week, which means that the return match against "The Reds" is also in danger for the French defender.
