Big tile for Perisic and Croatia.
The Croats will be deprived on Monday of their top scorer Ivan Perisic, tested positive for coronavirus on Saturday, for his round of 16 of the Euro against Spain, announced the Croatian Federation.
10-day isolation period
The tournament is probably over for the winger of Inter Milan, author of two goals in three matches against the Czech Republic (1-1) then Scotland (3-1), since the federation specifies in a press release that " Perisic will observe a 10-day isolation period and will not participate in the matches of the Croatian national team during this period ”. It will therefore miss the quarter-finals and the semi-finals, if Croatia qualifies.
"The medical team isolated Ivan from the other members of the national team and immediately informed the competent epidemiological authorities of the situation, providing evidence that they had taken the necessary measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus", adds the federation specifying having received the result of the player's positive test on Saturday evening.
All other players and staff have tested negative, according to the federation.
