Argentine RCD Espanyol player Vargas had coronavirus and is already recovered
Fernando 'Bocha' Batista, Argentina's U-23 coach, said on Wednesday that RCD Espanyol forward Matías 'Monito' Vargas had coronavirus, but he has already recovered.
"'El Monito' Vargas had coronavirus, he was infected. I mainly spoke to know how he was in his physical condition. He felt good, he was calm," revealed the coach.
"He says that suddenly he started feeling tired, a little fever. He believed he could test positive because he already had several teammates with the virus. He took it calmly, as it had to be. He didn't leave his house, he didn't come into contact with anyone. They left him the groceries at the door, he was very aware," he assured.
Batista said that the 22-year-old forward is already recovered and "now he is well."
