Spanish club Rayo Vallecano ordered
Guinean international Lass Bangoura to return from African Cup of
Nations duty because his teammates were afraid of catching the Ebola
virus, a spokesman said Thursday.
Bangoura left the national team camp in Morocco on Wednesday night after being given the order.
I was upset when I heard that some teammates in....
the (Rayo) dressing room
were worried about me and about Ebola,” the 22-year-old attacker told
Spanish radio station Onda Cero.
The Spanish club confirmed that it had ordered Bangoura to return.
Guinea has seen more than 760 deaths from
about 1,300 people known to have contracted Ebola there. The incurable
virus has killed nearly 4,000 people across West Africa. The current
epidemic is said to have originated in Guinea.
Bangoura’s agent Alfredo Fernandez said
that Rayo players were worried because some of Bangoura’s Guinea
teammates play for Guinean clubs. Ebola fears have grown in Spain since a
nurse who has treated patients with the virus was found to have Ebola.
