Seven players start pre-season with medical check-ups
Seven FC Barcelona players started their pre-season with the usual medical check-ups prior to the start of training sessions. Pedri, Trincão, Matheus Fernandes, Wagué, Rafinha, Miranda and Oriol Busquets are the seven players who this Wednesday afternoon undertook an electrocardiogram, a body composition test, an echocardiogram, a podiatry and a nutritional assessment.
Carles Aleñá is a close contact of a confirmed case of Covid-19 and must follow the established health protocols before starting his pre-season.
The PCR tests were carried out on Tuesday afternoon, and this Wednesday morning a positive Covid-19 test for another player came to light. During Wednesday afternoon, Jean-Clair Todibo acknowledged his positive test on social networks.
