The club’s medical services have been given permission to reveal their identities, thus putting an end to the speculation.
The first team will return to training on Monday, August 10 evening without Ángel Correa, who is asymptomatic and self-isolating at home, and Sime Vrsaljko, who was recovering from an injury and not training with the group. The Croat is also asymptomatic and will remain at home by decision of the medical services, although his case is considered to be resolved by the health authorities, having generated antibodies (IgG) several months ago. The doctors will monitor both players as per the health protocol.
As a result, 21 first team players and Academy footballers Álex Dos Santos, Manu Sánchez, Riquelme and Toni Moya will travel on Tuesday, August 11 to the Portuguese capital Lisbon to focus on the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal against RB Leipzig on Thursday.
