Lodi returns to training

One week after testing positive for coronavirus, Lodi has returned to Cerro del Espino. In the two PCR tests that have been carried out in the last 72 hours, he tested negative and can return to work. It is only ten days late with the rest of the red and white squad, which continues to exercise under strict security measures, under phase 1 of the protocol prepared by the Higher Sports Council (CSD). The winger was part of the second round of footballers who worked at Cerro and He worked out with Correa, Costa, Giménez, João Félix, Koke, Lemar, Saúl, Trippier, Thomas and Vitolo.

Players spread across the six fields of the sports city. No contact between them or with the coach. Two rounds (the one in Lodi started just as the previous one ended, around 11:00). Improvised parking lots at crossing sites. Soccer players who collect their balls themselves. The job Lodi returns to seems like a dystopia ten days later, but no, it is not, it is reality.

Atlético have already completed with their left side, the only natural of the squad, their fifth training session after the forced stop because of the coronavirus crisis while soccer tries to return to its normality, or to the new normality that is embraced on that date: June 12.
