At the most crucial moment of the campaign, Covid-19 raged against Junior’s plans. The rojiblanco team, which this Wednesday will face Coquimbo Unido (Chile), from 7:30 pm, at the Metropolitan Stadium, in the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana; and on Sunday against América, in the semi-final of the League, on the same stage, he registered seven positives for coronavirus, five players and two important members of the coaching staff.
EL HERALDO learned on the night of this Tuesday, after 8 pm, through a source from the club, the results of the tests that were practiced and that took five players out of competition, including a rigorous starter, two who alternated in the eleventh stellar and others that are usually emerging. We refrain from revealing their names out of respect for their privacy.
The shark set has drawbacks to make up the lineup and all of the alternates. It only has 18 players, of which three are archers.
Apart from the new ones infected with Covid-19, Didier Moreno was already incapacitated for the same reason. And Larry Vásquez and Teófilo Gutiérrez are suspended and Luis ‘Cariaco’ González suffered a fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot. In addition, Cristian Higuita, who spent more time in the medical department than on the court, is not training with the squad.
