Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart can perhaps count on Orel Mangala, which tested positive for the corona virus last week, in the upcoming home game against 1. FC Union Berlin.
After a first negative test last weekend, a second PCR test on Monday also turned out negative, a VfB spokesman confirmed to the German Press Agency on Tuesday.
Stuttgart - Should the midfielder remain negative and show no symptoms of illness, he could leave his quarantine on Wednesday in consultation with the health department.
Then the relevant five-day period would have expired.
As a result, he could be part of coach Pellegrino Matarazzo's squad again against Union on Sunday (5.30 p.m. / DAZN).
