Jeopardising attempts to restart the national league after its two months suspension, Eight footballers from top-flight Mexican team Santos Laguna have tested positive for the coronavirus, the club said Wednesday.
A decision on the possible resumption of the Mexican league, the Liga MX, had been expected by the end of the week, having carried out tests with a view to resuming training. This particular situation makes resuming the league more complicated,” Santos Laguna’s owner, Alejandro Irarragorri reported. He also hinted that the situation at Santos Laguna could be even worse, because so far only 22 results of 48 tests are back yet ,on players and coaches.
Liga MX said the COVID-19 infected players ,though yet to be identified , were asymptomatic.
Two other clubs, Guadalajara and Monterrey, are also carrying out screening for the disease. Monterrey said it had not identified any positive cases. With more than 6,000 COVID-19 related deaths, Mexico has the second highest coronavirus death toll in Latin America after Brazil.
Game stopped in the Liga MX in mid-March, and less than a week later the league’s president Enrique Bonilla announced he had caught the disease, without serious symptoms. The president of San Luis, another club in the Mexican league, has also been confirmed COVID-19 positive.
