Four PSG players positive for Covid-19, Messi is one of them

DBasia.news – It’s a new year and the corona virus is still a world pandemic, especially with a new variant called Omicron that is spreading in Europe. Like the UK, Spain and Italy, the coronavirus has also spread to France.

French giant club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) reported that four players have tested positive for the corona virus after undergoing tests. The four players are Juan Bernat, Sergio Rico, Nathan Bitumazala and Argentine superstar, Lionel Messi.

“Tests carried out during the winter break and prior to the resumption of training revealed four positive cases of Covid-19 among the players and one positive case among the staff. Those concerned are subject to the applicable Covid protocols,” PSG said on the club’s official website.

“The four players who have tested positive for Covid-19 are Leo Messi, Juan Bernat, Sergio Rico and Nathan Bitumazala. They are currently in isolation and undergoing appropriate health protocols.”

With this news, Messi and the three players will miss the last 32 of the French Cup against Vannes at the Stade de la Rabine, Tuesday (04/01) at 03.10 WIB. Even so, Neymar is still continuing his recovery due to injury in Brazil.

Even without these five players, Mauricio Pochettino’s PSG are still the favorite to win with the depth of squad they have and individual quality.
