Correa and Vrsaljko, the only players with coronavirus

Atlético has just reported that only Correa and Vrsaljko have tested positive and that they are isolated at their homes. “21 first-team footballers plus Academy players Alex Dos Santos, Manu Sánchez, Riquelme and Toni Moya will travel to the Portuguese capital tomorrow to focus on the Champions League quarterfinal dispute,” he reveals. During the early hours of the morning, the first team's utility workers, as well as some member of the coaching staff, have passed through the Majadahonda facilities. But the doors of the Sports City are closed tight. The team will return to training in the afternoon. AS already announced yesterday that the two positives of the expedition (93 people) were precisely footballers.

Entire statement:

The first team and members of the coaching staff underwent new PCR tests yesterday, the result of which has been negative in all of them, after the appearance of two positive cases in the tests carried out on Saturday. Following the health protocol, said tests were also carried out on relatives living with the two positive cases, all of which were also negative.

The club's Medical Services have received authorization in both cases to reveal their identity and thus end the speculation.

The first team will return to training this afternoon with the absence of Ángel Correa, who remains isolated at his home without presenting symptoms. For his part, Sime Vrsaljko, who was recovering from an injury outside the group, is also asymptomatic and will remain at home by decision of the Medical Services, although his case is considered as resolved by the health authorities as he has generated antibodies (IgG) several months ago. The doctors will supervise the monitoring of both players as established by the health protocol.

The club and its Medical Services want to thank the media for the respect shown towards the privacy of these two cases.

In this way, 21 players from the first team plus Academy players Alex Dos Santos, Manu Sánchez, Riquelme and Toni Moya will travel to the Portuguese capital tomorrow to focus on the Champions League quarterfinals.
