The template of
Athletic
Madrid
was submitted last Thursday to the pertinent tests of the Covid
-19 prior to the start of the preseason, except for international players, Diego
Coast and Santiago
Arias, the latter two with a positive result during their holidays.
Players, “asymptomatic and in quarantine”, have to comply with the relevant protocols of the corresponding health authorities and The league, to come back.
He Atlético de Madrid has been working since last Friday to prepare for the upcoming season. Obviously without them. The mattress team will train from this Monday in San Rafael
Until next Saturday, in the central phase of preparation, to work the bulk of the physical and tactical.
It is understood that both players could join the team throughout that ‘stage’, although the mattress club does not put its hand on fire because obviously it depends on the evolution of both players. People's recovery is different.
What has to happen so that they return to training with the rest of the players? The protocol establishes that the player will have to be isolated for several days at home, under observation (they have already been several days). During this time, the pertinent tests are carried out again. In case of testing positive, they would remain in isolation. In case of being negative, they would have to spend 72 hours and they would also have to undergo a new PCR that returned negative (double negative added to the first), to be able to join the training with the rest of the teammates.
In other words, for time it would be possible for both of them to be with the team at the San Rafael “stage”, but it is not a sure thing either. It will be seen as the days go by.
