După Busquets, un alt jucător a fost testat pozitiv cu COVID-19Fundaşul Diego Llorente aste al doilea jucător din lotul selecţionatei Spaniei testat pozitiv la Covid-19, la două zile după căpitanul Sergio Busquets, ambii urmând să rateze EURO 2020, a anunţat marţi seara Federaţia spaniolă de fotbal (RFEF), citată de AFP. După testul pozitiv al lui Sergio Busquets, selecţionerul Spaniei, Luis Enrique, a decis să apeleze la mai mulţi jucători de rezervă, pentru a acoperi eventualele forfait-uri din cauza Covid-19 până la startul competiţiei. Astfel, Luis Enrique i-a chemat pe portarul Kepa Arrizabalaga (Chelsea), fundaşul Raul Albiol (Villarreal), atacantul Rodrigo Moreno (Leeds United) şi mijlocaşii Pablo Fornals (West Ham United), Carlos Soler (Valencia) şi Brais Mendez (Celta Vigo). Luis Enrique are timp la dispoziţie până sâmbătă pentru a face schimbări în lotul său de 26 de jucători.

Fotbalistul Brais Mendez de la Celta Vigo a fost chemat de selecționerul Luis Enrique și a părăsit Grecia, acolo unde odihnea cu familia. Acest lucru s-a întâmplat, după ce patru fotbaliști au fost testați pozitiv cu noul coronavirus, iar selecționerul a fost nevoit să convoace patru jucători în regim de urgență. Pe lângă Mendez, Enrique a apelat la serviciile lui Rodrigo Moreno de la Leeds United, Pablo Fornals de la West Ham United şi Carlos Soler de la Valencia. Astfel, selecţionerul este îngrijorat că mijlocașul ar fi putut transmite virusul altor coechipieri, deoarece, potrivit presei spaniole, jucătorii au mâncat împreună la restaurant în ziua în care fotbalistul Barcelonei a fost testat pozitiv. În același timp, Federaţia spaniolă a anunţat că este posibilă convocarea altor jucători în afară de cei patru.
