Vinicius, negative in COVID-19

Vinicius Junior (19 years old) has tested negative for coronavirus, as reported by AS. The Brazilian, who on Thursday morning obtained an inconclusive result due to a test failure, something that already happened to him at the beginning of the confinement, has undergone a second test that has shown that you are not infected and that the virus is therefore not found in your body.

Before the third preparatory session for Alavés, Vinicius did the COVID-19 test at home. The verdict was undetermined, which means that it was not possible to know whether it was positive or negative. The player notified the club, which activated the protocol for these situations and explained to the footballer that he would not have to go to Valdebebas to train, that he should remain at home and that the medical examination would be repeated.

Available for Alavés

Soon, again at home, Vinicius faced the second test, which offered a clear result: negative. Once the same was known, the attacker contacted the club to report the good and reassuring news. This will allow Zidane to include him in the call for the visit of Alavés this Friday (22:00 hours, Movistar LaLiga). “Sometimes when doing the test it gives an error and it has to be repeated. There are no problems and the logical thing is that he will be with us tomorrow,” Zizou ventured at a press conference. He is still waiting for the result of the League test that he will know tonight. Vinicius is being very important since the return of the competition. His powerful physique and his verticality have made Zizou bet on him in this decisive section of the League: He has played in all matches (in three as a starter), with a total of 316 minutes in which he has scored a goal and caused a penalty. The technician, in fact, works to find the best formula to mix him with Hazard at the beginning, with which he shares a position.
