More problems for Diego: positive from Yangel

The problems accumulate for Granada and Diego Martínez. The club has announced the positive for coronavirus of Yangel Herrera. “After performing antigen tests and subsequent confirmation by PCR, a positive case for COVID-19 has been detected in the first squad, ”Granada himself reported in a statement.

According to the Nasrid entity, Yangel has been “isolated at his home and he is in permanent contact and monitoring by the technical staff and the medical services ”. Granada has informed the health authorities of the positive, following the protocol established for these cases. The club also wanted to point out that the player did not pass the virus in May As it was speculated and that, therefore, this is his first positive for coronavirus.

The loss of Yangel Herrera leaves Granada's midfield even more in the picture. Diego Martínez has Gonalons and Milla injured and only Montoro and Eteki remain available to receive Barcelona in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey. To them we must add the recently signed Domingos Quina, who hopes to join the group in the next few hours. A priori it could be very hasty, but It should not be ruled out that Diego included the young pivot on loan from Watford in the call for the Cup match against Barcelona.
