According to the official announcement of the Uruguayan Football Association, torreira and Diego Rossi, two internationals, have tested positive for the new crown virus.
On Tuesday, local time, the Uruguay Football Association issued a statement saying that Torreira and Diego Rossi, two Uruguayan internationals, tested positive for the new crown virus and have been isolated separately. This means that both of them will miss the next two World Cup South American qualifiers, and due to travel restrictions and rehabilitation quarantine periods, Torreira is not sure if he will be able to participate in the Serie A match between Fiorentina and Lazio on February 5.
The 25-year-old midfielder Torreira was loaned to Fiorentina by Arsenal this season and has made 20 appearances for the team so far, scoring two goals and assisting one. 23-year-old striker Diego Rossi was loaned to Fenerbahce by Los Angeles FC this season to score two goals in the Turkish Super League.
Uruguay are currently seventh in the World Cup South American zone, but only one point behind fourth-place Colombia. Uruguay's next two World Cup qualifiers are: away to Paraguay at 7 a.m. Beijing time on January 28 and Venezuela at home at 7 a.m. Beijing time on February 2.
