Granada returned to training this Saturday after almost two months of inactivity due to the COVID-19 crisis, but one player was missing. 'Ideal' reports that the third La Liga player to test positive for COVID-19 is Yangel Herrera of Granada.

The Granada players are training again. Diego Martinez's men trained at the training complex after almost two months.

However, not everyone was present. 'Ideal' reports that Yangel Herrera, absent from the training session this Saturday, could have COVID-19.

The Venezuelan footballer is apparently in perfect health, but tests showed there was greater viral activity in his body than the rest of his teammates.

Herrera, according to the cited source, was the only person missing from training. 

Therefore,, Diego Martinez has 26 first team players at his disposal plus six men from the B team who can strengthen the squad until the end of the season. 

If the news on Herrera is true, he would be the third La Liga player to have coronavirus after Atletico Madrid defender Renan Lodi and Real Sociedad keeper Remiro.
