Barça has presented a new update on the health situation of its squad and the new results confirm that the coronavirus outbreak within the club is on the rise. Those infected are nine from the coaching staff, Sarunas Jasikevicius at the head, and nine from the registered players. Therefore, the most immediate conclusion is that, after sending the report to the Euroleague and its acceptance, the match that was scheduled for Friday the 7th at 18:00 in Moscow against CSKA corresponding to the 19th has been suspended. working day.
Soon the Euroleague will be informed of the new date for this confrontation.
The current day has been practically deserted after the different outbreaks that appeared in the Euroleague teams. The only game that survives for this week is Milan-Zenit, understandable given that the Italians had a slump of positives before Christmas.
The suspension of the clash with CSKA comes due to the impossibility of having the minimum number of players available. Unlike the League, the Euroleague is more inflexible when it comes to postponing a match according to its protocol (recently changed, with a shorter quarantine) and eight officially registered players are enough for a match to continue. The club has not publicly reported who all the infected are, but there are enough that he cannot play. In the club even the president, Joan Laporta, is infected.
The culé team already saw the Madrid-Barça suspended that should have been played last Sunday due to the rise in their casualties due to coronavirus. In addition to the Russians, we must also add this week’s league match against Joventut among those who will have to settle back on the calendar.
