Correia has ‘fallen’ from the call for Portugal for the European sub 21 after testing positive in COVID 19, as confirmed by the Portuguese federation, which has also confirmed the loss of the Barcelona player Francisco Trincao for being a ‘high-risk contact’ of a positive for coronavirus. The azulgrana had already fallen off the list of the Eurocup absolute by technical decision.
Rui Jorge had summoned the selected ones this past Sunday and the tests to which the players were subjected revealed the contagion of the player of the Valencia.
Complications from the global pandemic led to UEFA to divide the championship into two phases, a first of groups in which Correia It was already an important part of its selection, and a final qualifying rounds that must be played from next Monday, May 31, when Portugal they will meet Italy in Slovenia in the quarterfinals.
In fact, when the final of this European sub 21 is played, on Sunday June 6 it will be just two weeks of the positive of Correia so it will be then that he could end the isolation he will have to face.
Correia It has been one of the few good news from Valencia this season. After his bad last season and a start to this equally inconsistent, the side has settled in the right-handed lane of the Valencian defense.
That he does not go to the European Championship leaves Valencia without the possibility of a player who paid 12 million euros for which he paid 12 million euros to continue recovering in the market, in a summer in which all players are likely to leave to make money.
