Barcelona visit Ferencvaros this Wednesday, in the penultimate match of the group stage of the Champions League. Already classified for the eighth, only the first place remains at stake. One of the setbacks of the Hungarian team may be the presence of their coach, andhe mythical Ukrainian player Sergei Rebrov, who is waiting for the result of the PCR test to find out if he has COVID-19, as announced by the newspaper Nemzeti Sport this morning.

The coach no longer went to the press room after Saturday's game against MTK Budapest (2-0) claiming that he was not feeling well. Nor was he in recovery training on Sunday in the sports city of Nepliget, so the newspaper questions whether or not the coach will be able to be against Barcelona on Wednesday. So far, Ferencvaros has not been a club that has been affected too much by the coronavirus despite the boom in the country in recent weeks.

The Ferencvaros has also been very cautious adding new security measures to those already established by the government. For example, after training the usual routine was to have lunch together at the facilities, but in the last weeks the players receive an individual box to eat at home.
