Neither Ángel Correa nor Sime Vrsaljko, who was still on the sidelines recovering from an injury, will travel to Lisbon to play the Champions League. They are the two asymptomatic positives for coronavirus in Saturday's tests that yesterday interrupted what pointed to a quiet return of Atlético to the highest competition. The rojiblanco club announced it after knowing the data of the tests carried out on all the members of the expedition, who were going to travel to Lisbon today.

The new PCR tests carried out on players and coaches of the first squad carried out on the same Sunday have been negative, so the team will return to training in Majadahonda this afternoon and on Tuesday it will head to the Portuguese capital.

The identity of those affected has not been made official until the club's own medical services have received authorization from those affected. In this case, Ángel Correa and Sime Vrsaljko. The same happened in May with the positive of Renan Lodi, only then the Brazilian full-back gave authorization as soon as it was announced that a player in the squad still had traces of the disease.

Both players remain at home without presenting any symptoms. In the case of Vrsaljko, in addition, his case is considered as resolved by the health authorities, having generated antibodies (IgG) several months ago. Family members who live with the footballers have also undergone the tests and have been negative.

This afternoon, Atlético will have their last training session before flying to Lisbon to prepare for the match against Leipzig on Thursday.
