Isi, positive for coronavirus

Isi Palazón reported this Wednesday that he was positive for coronavirus and that he is in “good” health. The 26-year-old Rayista winger has published a statement on his Social Networks explaining the situation. “Last Wednesday, after undergoing a PCR test, I was positive in COVID-19. Fortunately I am well, isolated at home and complying with the regulations set by the health authorities, “he said.

The Murcian dropped out of the La Rosaleda party. A striking absence, since it is a fundamental piece for Iraola. Asked about it, the Basque coach only stated that “he was not available”. Without offering more information about its status. Today it was the player himself who revealed what happened. A setback that will make him miss this Saturday's game against his ex, Ponferradina.

Isi ended the statement expressing his desire to return as soon as possible: “I hope to be back on the pitch as soon as possible to help the team achieve our goals. “Last day was Antoñín who took the baton from the right flank, although Andrés Martín and Baby are other alternatives on the table. Iraola will also be aware of the evolution of Comesaña – he suffers from problems in the pubis – and Mario Hernández – in the adductor muscle.

The extreme was being key in the red-red machinery. He is the team's second top scorer, behind Antoñín, with five goals (Mallorca, Málaga, Albacete and two against Espanyol, one in each round). To that should be added two assists, corresponding to the matches against Málaga and Las Palmas. And in terms of minutes, he is the fourth player in the squad that adds the most (1,716, only surpassed by Catena, Álvaro and Fran García).
