"The infection is not gastric, it is a viral issue. They suspect that it could have to do with one of the players who has been in Africa on vacation. Apparently, a player from the academy had not received all the necessary vaccinations to go to his country [of origin]..."

this write makes no sense, why always negativity about Africa?

Bernard Hayford

Is your post that’s stupid, before you come out with such news as a club you should get your tests right, the kitchen staff didn’t do their work well and now they tryna put it on an innocent continent, if it’s a viral transmission from a human the incubation period would likely kick in different for everyone making them sick on different days but for more than 8 to be infected at a time is clearly from something they ate….bull fucking shit we Africans ain’t taking this crab news

Pristine 

did Barca tell you that the infection was from Africa?
is it not your racist editor that wrote rubbish?

Nicky

how about those that traveled elsewhere? why Africa?😡😡😡😡😡😡

Because the player was on vacation in africa.
If i go to Africa on vacation and gets sick you seriously mean im a racist if i would make a post about it somewhere?
As i said to another guy recently. If the player would have had vacation in Asia for example it would say Asia. Diseases are everywhere in all parts of the world. There is no racism what so ever i it.

You need to wise up and think before you say anything about the editor again. The editor post what the report he gets say. So its Barcas doctors that said that and not something the editor have decided. The editors on here simply reports the information they get.

was he the only player on vacation?
the club gave the cause of the infection and she's here saying rubbish!!!!

nonsensical post
so Africa is full of infections 
the most stupid Post I've ever come across on this platform
