Manchester United player Fernandes is racing against time to recover from Corona before facing Atletico

 Manchester United coach Ralf Rangnick said Bruno Fernandes, who has COVID-19, is racing to recover ahead of the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, against Atletico Madrid.

Fernandes, who scored nine goals and assisted 14 with United this season, missed his team's 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend, along with his colleagues Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay.

Rangnick said Bruno's absence was due to his positive test for COVID-19.

"For Scotty, I hope (he's fit) but he had some muscle issues in his calf. That's why we decided not to play (against Tottenham) because Scotty's value is...when he's able to perform at 100 percent of his energy," the German added. physical.”

"Hopefully Luke will return to training on Monday and Bruno will have to wait until Tuesday. It will probably be a race against time due to Covid-19."

"We have to be careful with the Covid-19 tests. It was the same with David (De Gea). He wasn't supposed to play, but then his first quick test turned out to be wrong."

And Anthony Ilanga gave United a 1-1 draw with Atletico in the first leg last month.
