Hopes that striker Stevan Jovetic (32) could start in the capital derby have been taken away from Hertha BSC
The Montenegrin had tested positive for the coronavirus during his trip to the national team the previous weekbefore clearing his quarantine to return to Berlin on Thursday. There was certainly hope that he would be used in the city derby with rivals Union.
However, Hertha did not want to take any risks, which is why Jovetic was tested again in Berlin to be on the safe side. “This test was positive “, the Bundesliga 13th announced: “The cardiological examination, which is a prerequisite for the return, will take place after the negative test at the beginning of next week at the earliest.”
Jovetic, who has contributed two goals in six Bundesliga games to date, has been dogged by setbacks since his summer switch.
