Valentin Mykhailo came to the national team with a cold and was isolated from the rest of the team

Edi Jordenescu’s side face fresh squad challenges ahead of the double with Israel and Switzerland after Daniel Birligheia left the training camp with an injury a few days ago.

In particular, Valentin Mykhailo allegedly arrived from Parma with a cold and was isolated by Edi Yordenescu’s staff from the other tricolors.

Andrii Vochin, adviser to Razvan Burleanu, said that it was not a case of Mykhailo being infected with COVID-19, but the Parma player was isolated from the rest of the group to avoid complications.

“Mykhailo came and caught a cold. Now he is at the end of a cold, he even isolated himself from the group. He was a bit isolated from the group, so he didn’t transmit. For this reason, he did not play at the last stage of the championship. It’s for the best, it’s already the seventh day of cold, it’s already over. As far as I understand, COVID is not a cold. With tonsils. He sits alone in a room, comes to technical meetings wearing a mask, tries to protect.” – sent by Andrii Vochin, orangesport.ro reports.
