Former Barcelona goalkeeper Rustu Reçber is seriously admitted to a hospital in Turkey after having tested positive for the coronavirus, his wife Isil reported through social networks.

Reçber was diagnosed after his wife also tested positive and she explained that, at the same time, several workers at her beauty salon had tested positive. On social networks, many followers made him ugly to open the room and go to him after a trip to the United States, without having been isolated for a single day.

"I don't care about this lynching as long as Rustu recovers," she explained in a first post, in which she regretted not being able to visit her husband at the hospital. This Tuesday, Isil Reçber offered more information on the state of the former footballer: "The last 72 hours have been very difficult and I hope that from now on they will be better. I want to give infinite thanks to all those who are with us, by our side, right now".

"This is the battle of a living being against a new virus that has changed in size and is not known to the human body. Early detection is very important. This virus does not anchor in the throat or nose ... It moves quickly and nests in the lungs, where it arrives instantly to multiply and start pneumonia, "he noted.

"Rustu had a fever for days. He suffered from strong weakness, fatigue, loss of appetite ... his skin and lips turned gray. He breathed fast and had difficulty doing it, in addition to a cough that did not end. He also did not speak, he had the irregular pulse ", ended in his writing Isil Reçber.

Rustu Reçber played for Barcelona in the 2003-2004 season before and after a long career at Fenerbahce. An extraordinary World Cup in Korea in 2002, where Turkey reached the semifinals, served to make the jump from his country to the Barça club, but he did not find his place there.

In the first season at Frank Rijkaard's club and in a team that would only be second in the league and fall in the UEFA eighth and quarterfinals of the Cup, Reçber finished as a substitute for a young Victor Valdes . In fact, in the League he only played four games - in which he conceded six goals - and in UEFA another three, against Puchov and Panionios.
