Alba Berlin's coach, Aito García Reneses, 74, has been left in isolation for having tested positive for Covid-19, as confirmed by the German club, which on Friday had already suspended its Bundesliga match initially scheduled for today.
García Reneses does not show symptoms of the disease, but in view of his age he has been under "close medical observation," said Alba, the great dominator of German basketball last season, where he won the Bundesliga and the Cup.
The entire team will be in isolation, despite the fact that so far all its members are asymptomatic and tested negative.
This is the second blow of Covid-19 in the Berlin team, which two months ago suffered six positives in its squad and had to postpone several games.
Likewise, this Saturday he will not be able to travel to Weissenfels, in the east of the country, to face Syntainics MBC in a match corresponding to the eighth day of the German league.
The directors of the Berlin club clarified that they will repeat the tests this Sunday to rule out a massive contagion.
Last Tuesday, Alba visited Madrid, where they fell with a crash to Pablo Laso's team (91-62).
"They have been clearly superior from start to finish," concluded Aito after the ninth defeat in 15 days of the maximum continental tournament.
