The worst fears have come true at Real Madrid. The white club suffers an outbreak of covid in the squad of the first soccer team. All the alarms went off yesterday after knowing the positives of Luka Modric and Marcelo and the white club has just announced that four other players are infected and have coronavirus. It’s about gareth Bale, Marco Asensio, Rodrygo Goes and Lunin, which already passed the disease in August. Davide Ancelotti, assistant and son of the technician, also has Covid.
The outbreak radically disrupted the routine of the day in the Sport City. All members of all staff, including technical bodies, as well as V workersaldebebas, have undergone antigen testing and PCR during the morning, forcing Ancelotti to delay training (scheduled for 11.00 am) until 4.30pm.
The white club has not managed to avoid the sixth wave of the pandemic that is hitting Spain and the virus has finally entered Valdebebas. The basketball section, with coach Pablo Laso and point guard Thomas Heurtel on sick leave due to covid, has also been affected by the outbreak.
At the moment, next Sunday’s game against Cádiz is in the air and could not be played. The match against Athletic on Wednesday next week is also at serious risk of being postponed.
Since the pandemic broke out, the only Real Madrid footballers who have not tested positive for covid are Courtois, Carvajal, Lucas, Ceballos, Isco, Mendy, Camavinga and Vinicius.
