The Panama National Team reported the positive for Covid-19 of a soccer player prior to this Wednesday night’s game against Mexico, for the third day of the Concacaf Octagonal Final. Jiovany Ramos is the infected player. However, José Fajardo was also separated from the group for presenting symptoms, despite the fact that his first test was negative. Both are isolated and ruled out for the duel against El Tri.
«The PCR tests carried out on # PanamáMayor yielded the positive case of soccer player Jiovany Ramos. Both he and the soccer player José Fajardo are isolated and monitored by the team’s Dr. Fajardo, who has already tested negative, has presented symptoms and is awaiting a second test. Both players are ruled out for today. The rest of the players yielded negative results and are ready for today’s match against Mexico, ”reported the Panama team through their social networks.
Of the two casualties that the canal team will have for tonight’s confrontation against Mexico, only Fajardo had participated in the previous duels of the Concacaf Octagonal Final. The attacker entered the exchange at 81 ′ in the 0-0 against Costa Rica, but was not called up for the match against Jamaica.
On the other hand, Ramos had been considered by Thomas Christiansen for the first two commitments of the final phase of the tie. However, in both he remained on the substitute bench.
Panama and Mexico are the only two teams that have won in the Concacaf Octagonal Final. The Canaleros come from beating Jamaica 0-3, after they drew without goals with Costa Rica, while Tri added two wins, 2-1 against Jamaica and 0-1 against Costa Rica. (ESPNDEPORTES)
