Toni Kroos is out for the final that will face Real Madrid and Athletic Club next Sunday, where the whites want to continue putting pressure on Atlético in the battle for LaLiga. The German, as reported by the club in an official statement, is isolated due to close contact with a positive for COVID-19.
So reads the press release issued by the Madrid entity: “Real Madrid C. F. communicates that our player Toni Kroos is in isolation having been in direct contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19, although all the tests that have been performed on the player have been negative“.
The midfielder, who already rested in the match against Granada, will miss the duel against Athletic. Despite the fact that the tests carried out on the soccer player have revealed that he does not suffer from the disease, the protocol indicates that he must be isolated for that close contact.
In this way, the player will undergo a PCR as soon as possible to see if they are infected. In the club they cross their fingers so that it reaches the duel against Villarreal. Madrid already showed in Granada that it can survive without one of its flagships, although it is a momentous loss and more so in the face of the plague of injuries that Zinedine Zidane's squad has suffered throughout the season.
