The club have announced that the former Juventus man failed the PCR test

Miralem Pjanic has tested positive for coronavirus. This is according to the PCR results from the test he took on Saturday. The player must now remain at home and won't join up with his new teammates for 15 days.

The Bosnian complained about not feeling well and informed Barça. They asked him to take a test and now it's been revealed he's caught the coronavirus. 

This also puts back Pjanic's presentation by at least two weeks.

Training

Pjanic won't be able to start preseason on the 31st August and must remain in quarantine until the 7th September. LaLiga have yet to confirm when the competition will start next season, although the early suggestion is it'll be the 12th September.

He becomes the third player from Barça to test positive after Jean-Clair Todibo and Samuel Umtiti.
