In the morning three positive cases of Covid-19 were confirmed in the Sporting squad, which had the immediate consequence of canceling the game against Naples; In the afternoon, four more cases were confirmed, which had not been conclusive in the morning.
In total, according to our newspaper, the Sporting squad has seven confirmed cases of Covid-19, a situation that launched the alert at the Academy. In such a way that the medical department will once again submit the staff, the technical team and all the rest of the staff that attend the main team to new tests today.
On the eve of the match against Naples, and according to protocol, León’s squad was subjected to tests. The results arrived yesterday morning and confirmed the existence of three infected players, namely Nuno Santos, Borja and Rodrigo Fernandes, and four more inconclusive cases. Alerted, the clinical leaders immediately requested new tests, the results of which were released in the afternoon, and confirmed that the four cases that had yielded inconclusive results, after all, were also positive. We are talking about goalkeepers Luís Maximiano and Renan, midfielder Pedro Gonçalves and defender Gonçalo Inácio.
Once the cases were confirmed, the players in question were automatically isolated – Sporting, as happened during the lockdown period, will provide all the support to the athletes – and will not be an option for Rúben Amorim in his league debut on Saturday. against Gil Vicente – It should be noted that in the Gilista team there are 11 more cases of Covid-19, in a total of 15. And the presence of these seven players, both in the important game of the Europa League, scheduled for the 24th (Viking and Aberdeen meet on the 17th), or in the second round of the League, in Paços de Ferreira, it is not guaranteed either.
Everything will always depend on the Directorate General of Health and the tests these players will undergo in the future. If, in the near future, these players give two negative results, there is the possibility that the DGS will give the green light so that they can be reintegrated into the squad before completing the 14 days of isolation that the protocol mandates, although this has not happened, for example, with Vietto and Battaglia, the first two cases in the template.
