As the number of new coronavirus cases in China is decreasing daily, the Chinese clubs are getting ready to start the Super League.
Meanwhile, far away from his homeland, Wu Lei is the first Chinese player to be found positive for COVID-19.
Four days ago, Espanyol reported that six staff members and players were diagnosed with COVID-19. They are not the only Spanish club that announced about members testing positive for the virus. Valencia and Alavés also have confirmed cases in their ranks.
The identities of most detected players are still unknown. Meanwhile, the Chinese FA announced officially that Wu Lei is one of Espanyol players that were found as a confirmed case. According to reports in Spain and China, he is in good health and under medical follow-up. After a few hours, Wu Lei posted himself on social media that everything is back to normal. "The symptoms have gone," Wu wrote in a special post for his followers, "I can't wait to get back and play."
While Wu Lei is recovering from coronavirus, there is still one known case of a detected footballer in China. Brazilian Dori, who plays for Meizhou Hakka from the second division, has tested positive, and all of his teammates are under quarantine. Other teams are starting to fly back to China, such as Shijiazhuang Ever Bright, who returned to China today after 77 days abroad
