Three days before the rematch for Copa Libertadores between

Atlético Mineiro

and Boca Juniors in Belo Horizonte, on Tuesday 20 at 7.15 pm, the Brazilian club announced that Chilean striker

Eduardo Vargas

is missing the momentous match for having given positive for coronavirus.

Vargas, champion with his Selection of the Copa América 2015 and the Copa América Centenario 2016, is one of the Galo's figures and in the first leg played at La Bombonera he entered as a substitute in the second half.

Although there are no official details in this regard, from Brazilian soil there is uncertainty regarding the possibility of more positive cases, so the new tests that will be carried out on the squad in the coming days will be key.

Eduardo Vargas with covid, this was confirmed by Atlético Mineiro.

The news surprised everyone in both Brazil and Chile and has to do with the fact that the footballer already suffered from coronavirus in November. In addition, they highlight that he had already received the two doses of the covid vaccine. Regarding the latter, it is worth clarifying that inoculation does not prevent contagion but rather relieves symptoms.
