Spain could be without Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore for their Nations League matches against Germany and Ukraine after he tested positive for Covid-19, the Spanish football federation said on Tuesday.
All members of Luis Enrique's squad were tested on arrival at the Las Rozas camp.
Traore was due to undergo another test later on Tuesday to ensure that his result was not a false positive.
Unless that is the case the 24-year-old Traore will be prevented from joining the squad in order to comply with Uefa's safety protocols.
The former Barcelona forward is in isolation to limit any risk to the rest of the squad, and will have to do so for 10 days if the positive result is confirmed by the second test.
Traore is the second member of the Spain squad to test positive after Mikel Oyarzabal.
Spain face Germany away on Thursday and Ukraine at home on Sunday in Group D.
