URUGUAY’S LUIS SUAREZ has tested positive for Covid-19 and will miss the World Cup qualifying match against Brazil, Uruguay’s football association announced today.
“Tests have been carried out on all the members of the national team, with the result that the players Luis Suarez (and) Rodrigo Munoz and the official, Matias Faral, have tested positive for Covid-19,” the federation said in a statement.
All three are “in good health”, it added. They join defender Matias Vina, who tested positive on Saturday after Uruguay’s 3-0 win over Colombia in Barranquilla.
Uruguay host Brazil in Montevideo on Tuesday.
Unreal commitment to be an Olympian. Congrats Paul on your brilliant achievements
Really nice read, and how proud you must feel. Well done and I hope other life’s endeavours bring you as much contentment
Incredible story of pure determination. Unbelievable self motivation and grit to get up and train like that day after day.
I don’t know how elite athletes do it fair play
Paul was an amazing athlete – I think the pace of the four in 2005 and 2006 was the fastest lightweight 4- we’d ever had and such a shame the project ran out of steam by 2008
