Lopetegui loses key player as Diego Carlos tests positive for COVID-19

On Monday afternoon, Sevilla announced that it had detected a positive case of coronavirus in its team. It is the defender Diego Carlos.

The footballer gave an inconclusive positive on Sunday, so all the players were tested again this Monday. The results have confirmed that Diego Carlos has been infected.

The central defender is already isolated in his home and his state of health is good, as he is asymptomatic. Sevilla had to delay the time of the first training session of the week.

Furthermore, the Andalusian team has decided to postpone its trip to Vitoria until Tuesday morning, the day of the match itself. The ball will kick-off at 9.30 p.m.
