Nelsihno is not the only Kashiwa Reysol member who has tested positive for the covid-19 disease. At least three people from the Japan’s top-tier league side have returned positive tests.
This led to the Kashiwa’s away fixture against Vegalta Sendai slated for Tuesday being postponed a day earlier over fears of spreading the virus.
Michael Olunga’s Kashiwa Reysol coach Nelsinho Baptista has tested positive for coronavirus and is receiving medical treatment at home.
Reports from the Kashiwa camp say the 70-year-old Brazilian tactician had a high fever on November 1 and November 2 before tests confirmed he had caught the virus.
