Relief in Munich after the news of the end of quarantine for Serge Gnabry. The attacker of the sixteenth European champion, who began his isolation after testing positive last Tuesday a day before facing Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League (4-0), he will fly to Moscow on Monday and will be in the call of the Bavarian team to face Lokomotiv on the second day of the maximum continental competition. The German team made it official.
As the club explained in a statement, Gnabry was PCR negative for four consecutive days and thus he gets permission to accompany the team to Russia. From the Bundesliga champion they assume that Gnabry tested false positive last week, something that Flick already assumed last Saturday after beating Eintracht Frankfurt 5-0 in domestic competition. “We assume that it is false negative“, He said at a press conference, a hypothesis that was confirmed after Gnabry, too, gave negative in the antibody test.
Thus dictates the Bayern statement:
Serge Gnabry you are immediately released from quarantine that I had been keeping for five days.
Last Tuesday, the German international tested positive in a PCR test for which he had to start a quarantine. Since then, in the next four days, Gnabry has had more PCR tests and they all came back negative. Additionally, on Saturday and Sunday an antigen test was performed and both came out with negative results.
Munich health department has concluded that last Tuesday's positive PCR test was a false positive and has lifted quarantine measures.
Gnabry returns to training with immediate effect and will start the trip to Moscow on Monday for the next Champions League game. There he will be available to the coach for Tuesday's match against Lokomotiv Moscow. “
