What if this was the first in a long series? This Friday evening at 7 p.m., Olympique de Marseille and AS Saint-Etienne are invited, at the Vélodrome stadium, to kick off the 2020/2021 season of Ligue 1. However, the Marseille club announced this Sunday evening that in addition to Jordan Amavi, three other players in the professional workforce are suspected of having contracted Covid-19. What to give work to the Covid commission set up by the Professional Football League (LFP) since yesterday. It is she who, composed of four doctors and two infectious diseases, will have to give its instance to the competitions commission on the holding or not of this first match of the new season.
A case from Saint-Etienne
In its edition of the day, the daily L’Equipe notes that in the protocol established by the LFP, it is stipulated that “if the team has more than three players or supervisors isolated over eight rolling days”, the Covid commission may decide to postpone the meeting (s) of the team in question. With four cases counted on the OM side, Friday’s meeting is therefore strongly threatened with postponement. The newspaper also learns that the day’s training was canceled, after seeing two preparatory meetings (Montpellier and Stuttgart on Friday) also canceled. For its part, ASSE reported a case on Friday. Really not a good omen a few days before the start of the 2020/2021 fiscal year.
