Busquets' positive corona test could have wide circles
After the positive Corona findings in Spain's team captain Sergio Busquets, according to a report by the “As”, the Portuguese selection also has to go into quarantine for the time being. According to the Spanish sports paper, the duration is up to twelve days. There was initially no official confirmation from the Portuguese Football Association or UEFA on Monday.
Defending champion Portugal around superstar Cristiano Ronaldo had played a friendly against the Spaniards in Madrid last Friday (0-0). Busquets had been changed after a good hour.
At the European Championship finals, the Portuguese have their first game on Tuesday next week. The opponent in Budapest will be Hungary. On the following Saturday, the European champions from 2016 will play against Germany in Munich. The Spaniards contest their European Championship opener next Monday against Sweden.
Busquets had tested positive for the corona virus on Sunday. The tests of all other players were negative, the association announced. Busquets (32) had to leave the training camp in Las Rozas in a medical vehicle.
The last test match before the European Championship on Tuesday will be played by the Spaniards with players from the U21s. It is currently questionable whether the captain can still play in the EM. After the non-nomination of the actual captain Sergio Ramos, the Spaniards could be missing another key player.
