Paris, August 25: Rennes have confirmed three more players have tested positive for coronavirus.

The Ligue 1 side recorded a case of the virus last Thursday and carried out further tests on Monday.

The three players to return positive tests for COVID-19 will now self-isolate.

As a precaution, Rennes say they will split up into smaller training groups until further notice and will not permit media to attend any sessions.
