In France, a positive test for the novel coronavirus or COVID-19 symptoms triggers a mandatory 10-day quarantine. PSG face Bayern on Tuesday, four days after taking on Lille in a top-of-the-table Ligue 1 clash, for which Verratti had already been ruled out after sustaining a thigh injury while on recent international duty.
