Even after the strongest European football leagues have been suspended, new cases of coronavirus among players continue to be reported. This time, the first case of illness among "La Liga" athletes was confirmed. The dangerous virus was contracted by Valencia defender Ezequiel Garay. The 33-year-old player himself confirmed this news on social media, mentioning that he did not play in the UEFA Champions League knockout stage match against Atalanta in Bergamo. "I feel fine now and I just have to follow the instructions of medical professionals. I will be isolated for a certain period of time," said E. Garay. In the evening, Valencia confirmed that four more club representatives have also been infected with the same virus - two players (Jose Gaya and Eliaquim Mangala), a medic, and a person responsible for the organization of matches.
