"In accordance with medical regulations and UEFA protocols, Luka Milivojevic left the sports centre immediately after receiving the results and continued his stay in Serbia in home isolation.

"A day later, he had another control test, which also showed that he was positive.

"He will spend his stay in Serbia in accordance with the valid laws of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, which refer to the Covid-19 epidemic.

"All players and the professional staff of the A team received negative results in the further tests, so that the remaining members of the national team are available to coach Ljubisa Tumbakovic for tonight's game against Scotland."
