VfB Stuttgart may be able to count on midfielder Orel Mangala, who originally tested positive for the corona virus, faster than expected.
Shortly after the first PCR test, a second PCR test on the Belgian was negative, as VfB sports director Sven Mislintat said on Sunday.
“Orel may well have been false positive.
Stuttgart - I think he will do a new PCR on Monday morning, then let's see what the result is, "said the 48-year-old.
Mangala was the sixth VfB player to test positive within a few days on Friday and has been in domestic isolation ever since.
Although there are still some unvaccinated professionals at the Swabian Bundesliga soccer team, Mislintat agrees with the vaccination quota in the team.
"I'm happy with that," he said.
"That puts us in the age group, I believe, above the national average." At VfB, no one is forced to have a vaccination, he emphasized.
