Basketball.The Euroleague trembles due to Covid-19: trips, multiple infections, suspensions and defeats 20-0
At last the mystery has been revealed.
The player who has tested positive for Covid-19 in the
Barça
basketball section
is
Nikola Mirotic
.
The Montenegrin Hispanic himself has made it official through his personal Twitter account.
"
I want to tell you that I have tested positive for Covid-19
and unfortunately I will not be able to be in today's game. I feel fine and I am following medical indications. I want to wish my teammates good luck, I will support them from a distance! #ForcaBarca", has pointed out the great star of the Barcelona team.
As he himself has indicated, it will be low for the game that the Barça team will play against
Valencia
at the
Fonteta de Sant Lluís
, corresponding to the third day of the Euroleague, and which will be played this Tuesday at 9:00 p.m.
The visit to
Saint Petersburg
, which ended with Barça's defeat by 74-70 and which was already complicated by Barcelona's side after the positives of the coach,
Sarunas Jasikevicius
, and one of his assistants,
Darius Maskoliunas
, is in the spotlight for this contagion from Mirotic.
Not surprisingly, the game, which was to be played on Friday at 6:00 p.m., was delayed until 7:00 p.m. due to the positive of one of the Zenit players and, at the moment, has a total of 19 affected, among which are says his coach, former Barça player
Xavi Pascual
.
The situation in Saint Petersburg, very possibly, was the trigger for the complaint in English that another of the great figures of Barça, Alex Abrines, slipped last Sunday on his Twitter account.
"So,
is someone going to take care of the health of the players
or are we going to continue playing as if nothing happened?"
The good news for Barça is that both Jasikevicius and Maskoliunas have been able to rejoin the team's discipline after having overcome the disease.
And, above all, that
Kyle Kuric
, who has been out for a few weeks after being forced to go through the operating room to reconstruct the plaque in the skull that he has been carrying since he was operated on for a brain tumor years ago, may also be in principle on the park.
