No.

Spotted in the training video : IRack, Dmitrović, Fernando, Gudelj, Bono, Lucas, Mir, Jordan, Munir, Oscar, Papu, Kounde, Ivan, Oscar, Ivan, Diaz, Ludwig, Ivan, and I think Idrissi.

Not seen Acuña, Diego, Oliver, Montiel. I could be missing others

Looks like the new virus is giving more than just some fever, they are multiplying now Jezus.

Looked like an even lighter group in training today. I hope that we don’t have additional cases.

Acuña and Montiel are injured I think so I think it might be Diego Carlos, Óliver Torres and YEN that ended up getting it

I don’t recall seeing Delaney or Rekik in the videos today. :frowning:

Also, seems like they have reduced the capacity of stadiums to 75% in Spain due to the Omicron variant. That will be in effect from Jan 1 to the 31st and will be reevaluated as needed.

Not surprised at all. Honestly with the rush of cases, I wouldn’t be to surprised if we went back to empty stadiums or even if the season went on pause

So with Kounde suspended and what appears to be Diego and Rekik in Covid protocol, Sevilla are going into Cadiz with zero centerbacks.

No need to run for panic station yet.
Omicron has already been proven to be several times weaker than Delta was and causes far milder illness that very rarely needs hospitalisation. Stadiums were open after Delta outbreak and there were very few infection cases among the fans and staff.

That’s a very reasonable point. Each new variant is more infectious and less severe.

I wonder if the virus will eventually fall to the level of the common cold and will no longer be a real issue

Some scientist hope and believe that it will. We have to be cautious still as this thing is mutating fast and not all mutations will be less severe. I mean it wants to survive and not kill its host, so hopefully we get there.

I hope you’re right and this ends up being a virus that keeps getting weaker and that we can live with it in a similar way to what we do with flu. I really hope there doesn’t come a time when we have to play behind closed doors again.

Do we know who the players with Covid are for sure now?
