What does the protocol say after the positives of Real Madrid?

The resumption of football after the forced stoppage due to the expansion of the coronavirus pandemic was based on the work of many people who participated so that the ball could roll. Everything had to be measured and controlled to avoid infections and play in the safest way. To minimize probabilities, although these always exist. This Saturday, Real Madrid has announced two positives in its squad. Hazard and Casemiro suffer from coronavirus and the protocols in case of contagion have been activated.

The club has confirmed that the rest of the squad, coaches and staff do not have the virus and will be able to continue with the Mestalla match this Sunday at 9:00 p.m. The protocol indicates that at least 13 healthy players must be brought from a list of 35 in which players from the subsidiary also enter and it seems that Zidane will have no problems gathering the group since it can only be played with five players from the first team. Thus, Real Madrid will not have to spend the only 'strike' to postpone a match due to the coronavirus allowed by LaLiga in case an outbreak causes any team to not be able to gather the minimum number of players. If that happens on one occasion, there will be no room for error in the following: the match will be considered played and the team that fails to present these players will see their match lost 3-0.

In addition to being in quarantine, whether they have symptoms or not, and being sick for at least the two weeks that the virus lasts in the body, both players will have to follow the LaLiga return to action protocol that requires two negative tests to be able to return to work and play.

Without Hazard and Casemiro, off due to coronavirus, Zidane is expected to line up Courtois, Lucas Vázquez, Varane, Ramos, Mendy; Valverde, Kroos, Modric; Vinicius, Benzema and Marco Asensio.
