First corona case in defending champion Portugal

Shock for Ronaldo & Co. – Full-back Joao Cancelo from Manchester City tested positive for Corona and is out for the EURO.

Defending champion Portugal will start against Hungary at the European Championship in Budapest on Tuesday. Shortly before that, Cristiano Ronaldo & Co. received bad news. Defense attorney Joao Cancelo delivered a positive corona test. This means that the EURO is over for the 27-year-old before it has even started. U21 player Diogo Dalot was nominated for the ManCity star and will join the team later in the day.

No impact for Ronaldo & Co.

The rest of the team, led by Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo, entered the training field on Saturday as planned and completed the units. The games in horror group F against Hungary, France and Germany should not be in danger.

It is unclear where the Portuguese could have been infected. However, last week’s friendly against Spain caused an uproar when Spain’s Sergio Busquets tested positive shortly afterwards. However, the Portuguese were able to avoid quarantine with a special permit.
