(Reuters) - Leeds United forward Rodrigo has tested positive for COVID-19 after coming in contact with an infected family member, the Spain international confirmed on Tuesday.

Rodrigo was not part of the Leeds squad for Monday's 4-1 Premier League defeat to Leicester City because he was isolating after close contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case.
