“I wouldn’t be surprised if the next test comes around and we have more positives. How should it stop if we sit on the bus and have dinner and just stay together like nothing happened? We were struggling with preparation because we had several consecutive days with positive Covid tests and then we traveled together for three hours with the team, we had dinner together and we had another positive test with Jorginho. People are worried because (the players) were on the same bus and had the same dinner. I don’t care much about the next matches. I am only concerned about the upcoming events and the health of the players ”, Held.
