Controversy over the presence of Josua Mejías at a New Year's Eve party

First problem for Malaga as soon as the start of 2021. Josua Mejías participated in a controversial New Year's Eve party organized by a Marbella nightclub in full pandemic. The images were publicized by the player himself and a companion, although he later deleted them. But the footprint has remained and social networks, as often happens in these cases, are fuming.

In the aforementioned images, it gives the feeling that the safety or health measures imposed by the Junta de Andalucía were not being met. And there were rather no masks or safety distances. A full-fledged party while most of the country ate the grapes alone or with few family members. Manolo Gaspar, sports director, gave the squad very direct orders to avoid problems during these Christmas celebrations. Responsibility and self-control. And no macro parties.

This morning everyone underwent routine PCR and blood tests before traveling to Albacete this Saturday to face the first game of the year. It remains to be seen if the club takes some kind of measure with the Venezuelan defender or if, finally, it decides not to travel to La Mancha to avoid mishaps. Severe problem for Malaga, with a shortage of professional chips, with sanctioned and injured players and that is not for nonsense.

He is not the first player whose presence at a party in the midst of a pandemic is revealed. Tenerife sanctioned two of its players, Alberto Jiménez and Javi Alonso because they were hunted at dawn in an illegal party and sanctioned by the club.
