The 29-year-old goalkeeper from Getafe insisted on the danger of COVID-19, which he contracted even with extreme measures of safety and hygiene. “Keep training at home, with the indications of the medical service. I want to tell you one thing: prudence. I have been responsible, I have protected myself every time I have left the house with gloves and a mask, and I have the virus, “he stressed.

“Think of you, those you love and above all those people who are on the front line watching over our safety. I send a big hug to all of you. Don't relax and take care of yourself,” he concluded.
