Both players tested positive for one week of the Eurobasket, which will conclude this Sunday in Valencia, during the PCR tests established in the security protocols of FIBA and the Spanish Basketball Federation. In this way, the tournament was lost and Laura Quevedo and Paula Ginzo were summoned in their place.
Now the two are fully recovered and Torrens even witnessed live at La Fonteta last Wednesday the match of the Spanish team against Serbia. Both will gather together with their 12 companions on July 5, when the preparation for the Games will begin.

After the study carried out, the two players are ready to start work again to regain physical form after these days of forced rest “, explained Juan Francisco Abellán, doctor of the Spanish team.
