MADRID – Sergio Ramos gave positive results at COVID-19, Real Madrid reported and, although he feels good, he will have to stay isolated at home to follow the protocols established by LaLiga and the Spanish government.
“Real Madrid CF announces that our player Sergio Ramos gave a positive result in the last COVID-19 test that was performed,” the club reported in an official statement on Tuesday morning.
The captain’s counterattack comes in the middle of the rehabilitation process of the muscle rupture of his left leg, which forced him to miss the last two victories against Barcelona and Liverpool.
Ramos was not going to play the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions League against Jürgen Klopp’s team, but various sources admit to ESPN that the coronavirus could delay his return to the field for a few days.
In this way, it is not yet known if he could reach the hypothetical semifinals of the Champions League that would be played in the last week of April.
The plant’s intention is to reach that recovered meeting, but it is still not entirely clear. First, Real Madrid will have to take advantage of the 3-1 draw in the first leg of the quarter-finals against Liverpool on Wednesday (Anfield, 21:00 CET) to advance to the next round.
Meanwhile, while ESPN reports, Ramos and Real Madrid continue to make no progress in the renewal negotiations. While the club offers one year, Ramos wants two. No immediate news is expected, except for a sudden change in the dynamics of the talks.
Zinedine Zidane will also not be able to count on Raphael Varane for the appointment against the English, because the French defender also continues to recover from the coronavirus. In addition, Lucas Vázquez, Eden Hazard and Dani Carvajal are still out due to injury.
