Tests positive for COVID-19 Busquets has tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss at least one match in the upcoming Euros.
Impact The best news for Busquets is that Spain don't start Euro play until June 14, meaning there's a slight chance he only misses one match if everything goes well. For now, he's expected to return for the June 23 game and miss the first two. His absence opens a spot in the midfield with Rodri maybe most likely to enter the XI now.

Five assists in 36 appearances Busquets recorded five assists in 36 appearances (32 starts) in La Liga this season.
Impact Busquets recorded just five clean sheets for the second consecutive campaign as Barca's defensive liabilities continue to be exposed. He upped his talker per 90 by the end of the season, but Busquets isn't the defensive juggernaut he once was and that's made him harder to rely on in fantasy even with a solid number of assists. He's made the final roster for Spain's Euro squad, and recent starts for his country should help secure his place in the lineup for the summer even if there's a competition for minutes with Rodri of Manchester City.
