Sime Vrsaljko will not travel tomorrow with Atlético's expedition to Lisbon to face the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The Croatian, together with Ángel Correa, tested positive for coronavirus in the test carried out by the club last Saturday. Without competing since March, Vrsaljko wanted to send a reassuring message on social networks, clarifying that his parameters in the test have been slightly higher, but that he has not suffered any symptoms of the disease.
“Hello people. I am only speaking to clarify the issue of the coronavirus a little. I wanted to confirm that I am fine and do not have any symptoms. Some parameters (in the test) are only slightly above what is allowed and that is why now I just have to be isolated from the rest of the teammates while not being negative in the test, which may be a few days. And nothing, now I have to be a few days at home, without going out and I'll train from here. In any case everything is super good, thanks for the messages of support. I hope to be able to have a normal life again soon, precaution is never enough “.
The side has not had an easy year. He returned to the rojiblanca squad this season and began the campaign injured after tearing the ligaments in his left knee during his assignment at Inter Milan last year. He has barely been able to participate in seven games between all competitions, adding 482 minutes and had not returned to play after the break as he underwent an arthroscopy to remove the surgical material from the previous intervention.
