Neuer, 36, and Goretzka, 27, gave the positive results on Wednesday.
They have now left Germany’s training camp in Frankfurt and are isolating.
Hoffenheim keeper Oliver Baumann, 32, has replaced Neuer and has joined the squad and another player is set to be called up on Wednesday.

In the reverse fixture against the Three Lions, Germany were held to a 1-1 draw following a late Harry Kane penalty.
