New positive of Luis Suárez: definitive loss against Barça

Luis Suárez has tested positive again in the PCR carried out in the Uruguay concentration and will miss the game against Barcelona. Despite the fact that the tests revealed its contagion in the first instance, Atlético de Madrid hoped that it could be a false positive, something common in recent weeks. It was the red-and-white hope in order to know if he would have one of his stars for one of the most important games of the season.

Suarezis currently isolated and has not been able to travel with Torreira, Lodi, Giménez and Felipe to Spain on the flight organized by the Athletic so that they arrive to the training of this Thursday. For now, it is unknown if he will have to pass the entire quarantine in his native country or if, on the contrary, he will be able to return to the capital complying with sanitary measures, as he did, for example, Christian Ronaldo. The rojiblanca squad knows the importance of the Uruguayan in front of goal and they waited for the good news that would have turned all the plans upside down. The data support this: he has five goals in the league and four with the national team. The rojiblanco team has not had a striker that has reached 15 goals in the league since 2014.

The truth is that Atleti has been one of the teams with the worst luck in the face of the coronavirus. Correa, Vrsaljko, Trippier, Giménez, Simeone… are some of those who have tested positive.
