UEFA confirmed that the match between Real Madrid and
Manchester City in the upcoming Champions League next week
will take place as planned, despite the emergence of a positive
situation with the new Corona virus of the Royal player
Mariano Diaz, according to Reuters news agency.
On Tuesday, the Spanish club announced that striker Mariano
infected with the Corona virus, which raises doubts about
his participation in the match that will be held on the eighth
of August at Al-Ittihad stadium.
“We are communicating with the club to monitor the situation
and the decisions of the Spanish authorities concerned,” UEFA
said in a statement to British media. “We are confident that this
case will not affect the normal game.”
Real Madrid lost two goals to a goal from Man City in the first
leg of the round of 16 in Madrid before the competition stopped last March.
It is worth noting that the number of infections with the Corona
virus escalated in Spain with the registration of thousands of
new cases in the past week, increasing the total number to 298 thousand cases.
