A Liverpool-based Covid-19 testing company has signed a major deal with Spanish football club RCD Espanyol.
DAM Health, which operates PCR testing clinics, will support the LaLiga side with the testing of the team and employees at the Barcelona-based stadium and training grounds.
It follows a similar deal agreed between the company and Rangers and Crystal Palace earlier this year and comes after DAM Health agreed a seven-figure partnership with Edinburgh Rugby which will see the private medical firm open a test laboratory on the BT Murrayfield campus.

The deal with RCD Espanyol follows a rapid expansion for DAM Health in Spain. The company has set up a specialist team in the country which has overseen the opening of over 80 clinics.
Director of partnerships at DAM Health, Liam Spence, said: "DAM Health is quickly establishing itself as the preferred provider of PCR testing for some of the biggest sports clubs and organisations in Europe.
"We are delighted to be working with RCD Espanyol in Spain and sports clubs throughout the UK.
"Our business growth continues to be strong as testing for coronavirus remains essential for work and travel.
"These recent business wins, including with the various sports clubs that we are working with, is testament to our dedicated and hardworking team based at our headquarters in Liverpool and our employees in Spain."
CEO at RCD Espanyol, José María Durán, added: "We are extremely satisfied with this agreement. It is important for our club to keep on expanding our network of providers with internationally well-renowned companies.
"We are once again pioneers, since this is the first agreement of Dam with a Spanish LaLiga club. We are proud that Dam has decided to join RCD Espanyol as a partner."
