The Royal Spanish Football Federation has communicated that all the players of the National Team and the members of the coaching staff have tested negative in the first round of PCR tests carried out this Monday after the knowledge of the positive of Busquets .
From that moment on, all the necessary measures were activated in the Ciudad del Fútbol in the event of a case of these characteristics in accordance with the protocols established by both the Ministry of Health and UEFA. Despite the negative results, preventive measures will continue on Tuesday with the national team preparing for its Eurocup debut.
After the positive of Sergio Busquets and before the possibility of a possible outbreak, Luis Enrique had summoned four players early in the afternoon to join the training of the National Team. The Asturian coach had called up midfielders Carlos Soler (Valencia), Brais Méndez (Celta) and Pablo Fornals (West Ham), and forward Rodrigo Moreno (Leeds United). After 9:00 p.m., it was known that Villarreal center-back Raúl Albiol was also joining urgently.
All of them join the concentration, but they will do it to work in a separate ‘bubble’. Thus, starting this Tuesday, these five players will join the sessions in the Ciudad del Fútbol of Las Rozas . In addition, once the game against Lithuania is over, a small group of footballers yet to be confirmed will also join the training sessions of the senior team under the same conditions as those mentioned.
The Spanish team debuts next Monday the 14th against Sweden at La Cartuja . The deadline to introduce changes in the call ends on Saturday at 9:00 p.m., that is, 48 hours before the start of the clash.
