Gerard Piqué You also know what it is to be infected by coronavirus. The footballer of Barcelona He tested positive three weeks ago, although he preferred not to inform the public about it, something his club did not do either. The Catalan entity did not want to detail in an official statement the contagion of the footballer who had been seen at the end of December at the awards Globe Soccer Awards of Dubai and that later disappeared from the spotlight. All until a few weeks ago when he was seen again at the Camp Nou in the duel against Athletic Club, he has witnessed several Andorra matches and has given interviews to the youtubers Ibai Llanos and DjMario.
It should be remembered that Pique is in the process of recovering the serious injury who suffered on November 21 in the League match against the Atlético de Madrid at Wanda Metropolitano. The central one damaged the internal lateral ligament of the right knee and also the anterior cruciate. To try to heal the knee, Pique He opted for a conservative treatment that would avoid undergoing surgery and that was going to keep him off the pitch for about four months.
In the last week it has been possible to see the player doing work on the pitch, which suggests that the recovery is on the right track. In the broadcast images he can be seen running, jumping and even touching the ball.
The best gift. ⚽️

Already recovered
The presence of Pique was missed, for example, in the presentation of Eder Sarabia as coach of Andorra, team that presides over the defender Barcelona. On January 19, whoever was second coach of Quique Setien took the reins of the team of Principality and it was put before the media. However, Gerard, who had made the decision to bet on him, was not present, something that surprised many. His positive for coronavirus may be the explanation for it.
Precisely, the last public image of Gerard Piqué It was last Sunday in the box of the Estadi Johan Cruyff witnessing the game that faced the Barcelona B and Andorra accompanied by his son Milan. This was the second consecutive crash that Pique lived live, since the previous Wednesday (February 3) he was also in the Espanyol Sports City watching the debut of Sarabia on the bench, which had not yet been released due to different postponements due to covid-19 cases.
Like all the teams in the League, the Barcelona Soccer Club It has also been affected at some point by a virus that does not pay attention. Gerard Piqué thus joins the list of Barça footballers who have tested positive since the beginning of the pandemic in which they were already Pjanic, Umtiti o Todibo. The coaching staff of Ronald Koeman it has also been affected. Before the league match against Athletic Bilbao, they detected two cases in the staff of the Dutchman who even made us think of a possible outbreak in the team, something that was finally ruled out after the PCR tests on the staff.
Cristiano, Hazard, Neymar, Mbappé …
Like Gerard Piqué many footballers have tested positive for coronavirus. Players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé, Neymar, Paul Pogba, Mohamed Salah, Keylor Navas, Thiago Alcántara o Eden Hazard they are also some of the elite players who have had to live with the consequences of the virus. The last big star to get infected has been the Atlético de Madrid striker Joao Felix. Also coaches like Cholo Simeone or Zinedine Zidane they have passed it.
All of them, like Gerard Piqué, seem to have overcome the disease without any consequence. Of course, none of these world football stars had hidden the case, as both the central defender and Barcelona did, who preferred to cover up the contagion of the footballer who will soon return to the pitch if his right knee continues to evolve correctly. Everything indicates that he may be at the command of Ronald Koeman at the decisive moment of the season.
