As reported by the Parisian club this Sunday, in addition to Messi who remained isolated in Rosario with his family, Spaniards Juan Bernat and Sergio Rico and Nathan Bitumazala also tested positive in the latest Covid-19 tests.
“We have been living with this virus for two years, we know what we need to avoid becoming infected and still being able to contract it. In reality, we all do not know how it works, how it works and how it spreads. There are new variants … I am not a specialist, I just listen and I listen to the advice of the professionals “, reflected Pochettino, in a press conference.
The coach specifically referred to the case of the 34-year-old forward from Rosario: “Leo is in constant contact with our medical services and when he tests negative he will travel to France. So far we do not know more than that. Until he tests negative in Argentina he will not be able to travel.”
In any case, the new sanitary provisions in Argentina would allow Messi to be discharged between Monday and Tuesday, since it is presumed that the positive was registered between December 27 and 28, after images of Messi, Antonella were viralized on social networks and his sons Thiago, Mateo and Ciro at different mass parties with family and friends.
In that sense, Pochettino defended the decision to release the players for the end of the year celebrations, both Christmas and the beginning of 2022, “after a very tough first part of the season”, where “the priority was to be with the family”.
“Most of the footballers rejoined in very good condition, after having complied with the indicated work programs”, full.
The PSG detailed in its medical part that both the Argentine and the other three infected players “respect the isolation and are subject to the corresponding sanitary protocol”, but it is a fact that they will lose the duel against Vannes, for the round of 16 of the Cup from France, scheduled for this Monday.
Pochettino hopes to recover Messi and the rest of those affected by next Sunday, when PSG will have a tough visit to Olympique Lyon, for Ligue 1, where they are comfortable leaders with 13 points ahead of their guards Nice and Marseille, which has one less encounter.
