The players and the staff of the BSC Young Boys have undergone a corona test after a week’s recovery without team training, the club writes in a message. All results were negative – with one exception: Roger Assalé’s test was positive. The Ivory Coast striker shows no symptoms, but has to be quarantined.

Roger Assalé was loaned to Leganés last season and had himself tested several times in Spain, all tests were negative, writes YB. After the last championship game against Real Madrid a month ago, the 26-year-old family man traveled to his home country. With a view to the start of training on Tuesday, the international of the Ivory Coast returned to Bern, whereby it now pays off that all YB players were consciously tested before their return to the team.

Timely isolation

This enabled the player concerned to be isolated prematurely. «We are happy that Roger Assalé has no symptoms and that his family is healthy too. We therefore suspect that he could have been infected on the long journey. We will now give Roger all possible support ”, YB sports director Christoph Spycher is quoted in the message.
