The corona situation at the Spanish top soccer club FC Barcelona is getting worse.
As the Catalans announced on Monday, the offensive star Ferrán Torres (21) and top talent Pedri (19), who had been signed for around 55 million euros just a week ago, also tested positive.
This increased the number of corona cases at the athletically and economically troubled club of national goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen to twelve.
Barca coach Xavi had described the situation on New Years Day as “chaotic” in view of the tense situation. The club icon is missing a good half a dozen other players due to injuries or suspensions.
Barcelona, already eliminated from the Champions League, are only fifth in the table after 19 league games, arch-rivals Real Madrid are in first place with a 15-point lead.
