On Saturday night, the CSKA team reported that tests conducted by three basketball players confirmed the coronavirus.
They are Nikola Milutinov, Janis Strielnieki and Semion Antonov.
Seven more players and staff members were reported to be infected in CSKA’s youth team.
Russia’s strongest club played the first game of the Euroleague season in Barcelona last Thursday.
Two days after the match won against the Russian club, the Barça club announced that coach Šarūnas Jasikevičius and Darius Maskoliūnas had been infected with the coronavirus.
It is true that none of the aforementioned CSKA players played on the field on Thursday.
On that day, the Russian club announced that Serbian N. Milutinov had fallen ill and Latvian J Strelniekas had suffered an injury.
They did not go to Barcelona and Antonov stayed on a spare bench.
CSKA has now announced on its page that three players will be isolated and the youth team will not go to the game.
The main team is preparing for Sunday’s game in the VTB-United League with Lokomotiv Krasnodar, represented by Mantas Kalnietis and Mindaugas Kuzminskas. Cases of infection have also been confirmed in the Krasnodar club.
In the Euroleague, CSKA is expected to make a comeback on Thursday when they host Tel Aviv’s Maccabi in Moscow.
