His partner in Brazil of Alisson and Firmino tests positive for Covid-19
Brazilian midfielder Gabriel Menino retired from the national team after testing positive for coronavirus.
The 20-year-old Palmeiras midfielder failed a second test on Wednesday after an initial round of negative results at the start of the international break.
Menino has been training with Liverpool stars Alisson Becker and Roberto Firmino, along with other Premier League stars such as Ederson, Gabriel Jesus, Thiago Silva, Richarlison, Allan and Alex Telles.
The Star reports that Menino has retired from the team, but has spent time with his teammates while asymptomatic and has trained with them.
None of the other Brazilian players tested negative in the second round of tests with the national team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar confirming: “In the tests carried out yesterday, Gabriel Menino tested positive for Covid-19. All the other players in the group tested negative.
It is important to note that, on Monday, when the players arrived, all the members of the delegation were examined and the results were negative.
We have already informed the Palmeiras medical department, the player is asymptomatic, is already isolated and is being cut from the national team at this time.
All protective measures are being taken. We will carry out a new battery of tests before our trip to Uruguay, and after the game.
Brazil will face Venezuela in a World Cup qualifier late on Friday, and then play Uruguay on Tuesday before the Premier League players fly back to England.
