Renan Lodi, defender of Atlético de Madrid, is the first confirmed case of Covid-19 in LaLiga after the tests carried out this week. As EL MUNDO has learned, the Brazilian tested positive for the PCR test, so he remains in quarantine, despite not having symptoms of the disease.

On Wednesday morning, Lodi underwent, like the rest of the Diego Simeone staff, a serological test and a PCR test. The 22-year-old winger was one of 10 Atlético footballers who, according to the PCR, was in contact with the disease, although he is the only one to keep traces of it.

In this way, the doctors knew that the player is in the advanced phase of Covid-19. You will be separated from the training until it does not give negative in two other PCR tests, which will be carried out with an interval of 72 hours. Meanwhile, you can exercise at your Madrid home.
