Joseph Aidoo has been officially ruled out of Celta de Vigo’s decisive match against Atlético de Madrid after testing positive for coronavirus.
Aidoo played for Ghana during the West African giants’ two-game friendlies against Mali and Qatar on Friday and Monday, respectively.
The 25-year-old returned to his club Celta Vigo just hours after Ghana’s game against Qatar on Monday.
As required by protocol, La Liga teams must perform a coronavirus swab test at the beginning of each training session.
However, Aidoo’s test came back positive and he has been kept in isolation for the next 14 days.
He becomes the fourth player on the team to test positive for the deadly virus after Brais Méndez, Santi Mina and Sergio Álvarez.
The news comes as a heavy blow to Oscar Garcia’s men, as they have a daunting task against Atlético de Madrid on Saturday.
Aidoo is also the fourth Black Stars member to contract the virus from international friendlies.
The team’s senior member, Jones Abu Alhassan, was the first to be diagnosed before Bernard Mensah and Gideon Mensah followed.
