Wu Lei is one of the four Espanyol footballers affected by Covid-19, according to Sport and COPE. Until now, only the name of Uruguayan defender Leandro Cabrera had been leaked, but the Chinese player is also affected by the coronavirus.

Espanyol officially announced last Tuesday that six members of their staff were affected by the coronavirus.

An aspect that was confirmed by the tests carried out, but that did not rule out that the contagion reached more people in the team. The first and so far only positive cases are four footballers from the first team and two members of the technical staff.
