Sevilla midfielder Fernando Reges has not traveled to Germany with the squad for the Champions League group stage match against Borussia Dortmund.
Reges is found to be suffering from mononucleosis, also called the kissing disease. That is why the Brazilian has been very poor in the last month and was not available to Julen Lopetegui before the sacking and now he is not available to Sampaoli either.
The former Porto and Manchester City player said in an interview that he had a “very big illness” that had prevented him from performing normally and Lopetegui indicated the player had had an illness from which he had already recovered. However, later the player was separated from the group again when he had a fever again.
Mononucleosis is a disease that weakens the body in general with fever, gastroenteritis and lack of strength, as well as a sore throat that prevents normal nutrition, resulting in loss of weight and strength.
The player was already seen in the match against Espanyol exhausted in a challenge in which he fell to the ground and the referee gave him a yellow card for late game, a warning he later overturned.
The duration of this disease is usually three weeks or three and a half weeks, but it should be noted that it is a chronic disease.
