Leganes’ official website added that the first precautionary measure was to cancel Friday’s training session.
The Madrid-based club state that Ortega hasn’t been in contact with any member of the first-team squad or the coaching staff.
As for Ortega himself, he is set to be discharged from hospital already on Friday.
