As the German coach of the English soccer record champions reported, apart from the injured French world champion Paul Pogba, he had all actors available and trained with 25 players. “They are all in good shape”, said Rangnick at the press conference on Monday’s game at Newcastle United.
Most of the players would have shown only mild symptoms
The game scheduled for last Saturday at Brighton & Hove Albion had been canceled due to the Corona outages at Manchester United and the multi-day closure of the training grounds. “The development since last week has been good”, emphasized Rangnick. Most of the players who tested positive had only shown very weak Covid symptoms and did not suffer, said the 63-year-old, referring to a high vaccination rate among the players.
