According to the club's official website, two more players - Shahruddin Mahammadaliyev and Jaime Romero - tested positive.

Last week, seven players infected with the coronavirus, Gara Garayev, Emil Balayev, Ismail Ibrahimli, Toral Bayramov, Mahir Emreli, Abbas Huseynov and Kevin Medina, had the same result. Bedavi Huseynov and Patrick Andrade will miss the next match due to injuries. Maxim Medvedev and Musa Gurbanli, whose last tests were negative, also did not resume full training on the advice of a doctor.

Thus, 13 of the 23 players (both goalkeepers) in the A and B applications submitted to UEFA will not be able to participate in the match against Villarreal.

For this reason, the match of the Azerbaijani champion with Villarreal, scheduled for December 10, will not take place. The decision on the match will be made by UEFA.
