Ezequiel Garay: "It is clear that I started 2020 badly. I have tested positive for the coronavirus, I feel very well and now it only remains to pay attention to the health authorities, for now to be isolated."

Five Valencia players and staff are "in good health" after testing positive for coronavirus, the club says.

Valencia and Argentina defender Ezequiel Garay became the first La Liga player to announce a positive test earlier on Sunday.

Later on Sunday, Valencia centre-back Eliaquim Mangala said he had tested positive and was self isolating.

Spain is the second worst-hit country in Europe after Italy and is set to declare a national lockdown on Monday.

Spain's La Liga was suspended on Thursday after the Real Madrid squad went into quarantine.

Ralph Rimmer said rugby league would continue to follow government advice and allow games to go on until a point when either mass gatherings are banned, which could be as early as next weekend, or there is a positive test in the sport.

A number of contingency plans would go before Monday's meeting in case games get called off, he added, aimed at protecting players and the future of clubs.

"What we have done is circulated lots of different modelling to the professional clubs and we'll be meeting them early this week to talk about what the options may look like in the future," he said.

"[Playing behind closed doors] is one of them. We have to be realistic about the position that we're in, nevertheless this sport has shown itself to be resilient over the last 125 years and hopefully we're going to be very collegiate over the next couple days and find some ways forward. We face a test, as does the rest of the country.

"In any modelling that we do going forward we have to consider player welfare issues, competition integrity issues and keeping the clubs solvent."

Rugby league journalist Ian Laybourn says Catalans Dragons prop Remi Casty is not prepared to travel to the UK for the French side's proposed trip to Wigan on Sunday.

In light of the coronavirus outbreak, four Toronto Wolfpack players are self-isolating after showing "mild symptoms".

Super League clubs will meet with the Rugby Football League on Monday to discuss how the sport responds to the coronavirus pandemic.

While much of the weekend's elite sport in Britain was postponed, Super League and Challenge Cup fixtures were played.

RFL chief executive Ralph Rimmer said they had "adhered to the guidelines" set out by government in allowing games to go ahead.

There are currently no positive tests for the virus in rugby league, he said.

"At the moment it's everyone's prerogative to choose what they want to do but nevertheless the games are on," Rimmer told BBC Radio 5 live.

"We've spoken with government regularly, probably more than once a day, over the last couple of weeks and have ensured we've circulated all the directives from the government to the different clubs so they can take measures which minimise the possibility of contagion.

"But until anything changes, we'll be going forward."
