After almost two weeks of absence for testing positive for COVID-19, the forward tested negative and may reappear before the Yellow Submarine
Diego Lainez, from Real Betis in Spain, is recovering from Covid-19 and tested negative in the last test applied to him, so he could be back against Villarreal, next Sunday, various sources informed ESPN Digital.
The Mexican midfielder was out of Betis for almost two weeks, after testing positive for Covid-19, the national team was asymptomatic and is now preparing to return to activity.
Diego needs to do a second test, so that Covid-19 is finally ruled out and so he can play again with the Spanish team. The 20-year-old striker had become one of the team’s most prominent players and now must fight again to regain his level.
Lainez is also in the sights of the Mexican Under-23 National Team, but the team led by Jaime Lozano needs the consent of the Spanish team to have him in the Concacaf Pre-Olympic to be held next March.
The attacker was isolated for 10 days, after adding up to eight consecutive games as a starter. Now he will have to convince Manuel Pellegrini again, so that he can regain his position and can play against Villarreal next Sunday.
In the current season, Lainez has played 11 league games and four more in the cup, and in three years he has played a total of 47 games played in the Spanish league.
The Mexican has tried to stay in the team, despite the irregular activity he has, and in recent games he has won the confidence of the coach, it is hoped that with his return, he can regain his position with Chilean Manuel Pellegrini.
