Cases of players positive for Covid-19 are multiplying at PSG. After Thilo Kehrer affected by the coronavirus last Saturday, PSG has just announced this Tuesday morning the isolation of Colin Dagba, the right side, “confirmed positive in the Sars-Cov2 PCR test”.
Returning from the winter holidays, it was Rafinha the Brazilian midfielder, who had tested positive before being sent home immediately. Monday, the former Barça player had still not resumed training and there is very little chance that he will be able to appear in the Parisian group selected to challenge OM on Wednesday for the Champions Trophy, like Dagba and Kehrer.
Like other clubs and not only in football, Paris Saint-Germain sees many of its players affected by the pandemic. Of the 25 players in its professional workforce, 12 have been or are infected with Covid-19. On returning from the holidays at the end of August when several elements had frequented the city of Ibiza, PSG had to deplore 6 cases: Neymar, Di Maria, Navas, Icardi, Marquinhos and Paredes.
Then, several players were infected. These are Mbappé tested positive with the France team in September, Herrera, Letellier, and therefore Rafinha, Kehrer and Dagba. Danilo Pereira, Cristiano Ronaldo’s contact with the Portuguese team, stayed away from the squad for a few days and missed a match but did not develop the disease.
The replacement keeper Sergio Rico would have been infected at the start of the first confinement, according to his wife Alba Silva. “We are still negative and we have antibodies. The doctor told us that we had no chance of catching him again or infecting someone, ”his wife said on her Instagram account in September, after the holidays in Ibiza which the former Seville doorman had also participated.
