San Sebastián, Aug 30 (EFE) .- The Real Sociedad player Mikel Oyarzabal has tested positive in a COVID-19 detection test that they did on Saturday, so he remains isolated at his home and will be low in the concentration of the Spanish team.
This is the fourth positive that has been detected in the Blue and White squad and the result has come a day after the Gipuzkoan attacker played about 60 minutes of the friendly that he faced Real Sociedad and the recently promoted Huesca on Saturday afternoon in Zubieta .
La Real has reported in a statement that a new case of COVID-19 contagion had been registered in the staff and it was Oyarzabal himself who confirmed that it was him through social networks.
“I want to communicate that I have been positive in the last test carried out. I have to be home for a few days and I will not be able to go with the national team. One day less to work with my teammates”, the international player reported in a message in his social networks.
At the start of the preseason, Real detected two positives in the squad, that of Aritz Elustondo, who has already overcome COVID-19, and that of another player whose identity was not revealed.
The third positive, whose identity has not been released either, was reported on Wednesday, which is why the Royal suspended two friendlies in Portugal and subjected the entire squad to new PCR tests on Thursday.
In these tests all the players, including Oyarzabal, tested negative, which is why the club scheduled a new friendly this Saturday in Zubieta against Huesca, in which the international striker played 60 minutes. EFE
