Barcelona has shown a Covid-19 event, but their next Champions League clash with Bayern Munich is clear.
Barca revealed that an anonymous member of the team had contracted a coronavirus, but the player in question is not included in Quique Setien’s final list for the last quarter of Friday against Bayern.
The club issued a message through its official website, which reads: “Following the PCR tests conducted Tuesday afternoon to the organization of nine players who must start the preseason today, one of them tested positive for Covid-19.
“The player has no symptoms, is fit and has been quarantined at home. The club reported the matter to the relevant sports and fitness authorities.
“All other people who have been in contact with the player have been followed to perform the corresponding PCR tests.
“The player has not been in contact with any of the senior players of the team who will have to go to Lisbon on Thursday to participate in the Champions League.”
Setien will still take his 22-man team to Lisbon on Thursday when the Champions League concludes in a revised knockout format in Portugal.
All players in this organisation are still subject to normalcy and, as things stand, the opposite adjustment to Bayern will go ahead as planned.
The most recent news comes two days after a coronavirus alert in the field of Atletico Madrid before its eighth assembly with RB Leipzig.
Atletico has shown that two members of his Champions League team have been forced to isolate themselves at home after testing positive for Covid-19, raising fears that their opposition to the German team will be postponed.
However, Atletico announced adjustments to its provisions to ensure the protection of players and the squad in the club’s follow-up: “The corresponding protocol of action planned for these instances has been activated, which requires further PCR testing in the first team and members of the Lisbon travel organization and contacts closest to positive cases.
These tests will result in adjustments in education schedules, as well as in the distribution and progression and accommodation in the Portuguese capital.
“He will coordinate the new schedules with UEFA and as soon as there is a new plan, it will be made public.”
Barca and Atletico can face off in the Champions League final, the first to face Manchester City or Lyon in the quarter-finals if they beat Bayern, and the last in line to face Paris Saint-Germain or Atalanta if they beat Leipzig.
