Antonio Blanco goes to the Eurocup

Antonio Blanco, Real Madrid midfielder, replaces Moncayola (Osasuna) on the list of 23 internationals that Luis de la Fuente will take to Slovenia to play in the final phase of the U21 Euro Cup. The midfielder of the Navarrese team tested positive for coronavirus in the tests that were carried out on Tuesday when they arrived at the concentration. When the diagnosis was confirmed, De la Fuente called the Madrid player, who opens with the U-21. Spain plays the quarterfinals against Croatia next Monday at 6:00 p.m. (Four).

Late on Tuesday, the medical services reported the incidence in one of the controls and, at that time, the protocol for these cases was implemented. This protocol establishes the repetition of the controls to rule out that there are more positives, delay the trip until confirming that there have been no more infections, isolate close contacts from the positive and increase security measures, with group training.

Spain was scheduled to travel to Slovenia on Wednesday, but Moncayola's positive changed plans. The good news is that all members of the expedition, both players and coaching staff, have tested negative since then. Therefore, the U-21 will continue to prepare the decisive part of the championship in Las Rozas. They are scheduled to travel to Slovenia this Saturday.

Regarding the preparation of the tournament, this changes the National Team's plans, because the idea was to train from Wednesday in Maribor, the city where they will play the first game. Now they must continue with the preparation in Las Rozas. The positive note in this sense is that they play in the same city of the first phase, in the same stadium and will be housed in the same hotel, so except for the seven new players the rest of the international players know perfectly the place where they are played. the quarterfinals next Monday, May 31 against Croatia.
