"Sevilla FC announced this midnight that there are three positives for coronavirus in the first team, two of which were already detected during the Christmas holidays.
The Sevilla club has carried out antigen tests and PCR to detect covid-19 infections in the players and coaches of the first team as a preventive measure given the large number of cases that were occurring in other LaLiga teams ."
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
I don’t recall seeing Delaney or Rekik in the videos today.
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
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.
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?
