The 21-year-old striker joined the Spanish top-flight team this month on a five-year deal.

"Granada ... has tonight received official communication from CONMEBOL (South American Football Confederation) confirming that Angulo tested positive in an anti-doping test," the club said in a statement on Thursday.

The Ecuadorian is now banned by Granada until the results of his B sample are known.
