For this Thursday the match between Coquimbo Unido and Estudiantes de Mérida, at the Francisco Sánchez Rumoroso, for the Copa Sudamericana is scheduled. However, the coronavirus puts problems in planning, due to the contagions of the Venezuelan team.
The situation is that a group of 20 people from the club’s delegation tested positive before the game against Racing, in Argentina, due to the closure of the group phase of the Copa Libertadores. As more than two weeks have passed since they had the infection, the affected players were able to play against the Academy. At first, the Argentine Ministry of Health stated that the party could not develop in these situations, however Conmebol put cold cloths and gave guarantees.
This recalls what happened to Boca Juniors before their clash with Libertad de Asunción. Even the Paraguayans filed a complaint about the trip of the xeneizes with part of their delegation positive for coronavirus. Conmebol affirmed that there was no problem if they already exceeded the established days to infect.
Something similar also happened to Mauricio Isla, who could not enter Uruguay and missed the Red’s debut match for the Qualifiers.
The trouble for the rival of the Coquimbanos is that they cannot enter Chile. Martín Brignani, students’ technician, spoke with Argentine radio Late93.1 and recounted the vicissitudes they have. “I am not going to travel to Chile with only eight players. Today, we are not going to introduce ourselves. We should travel tomorrow but Chile does not allow us to enter. Boca was able to enter Paraguay, we to Argentina to play against Racing. We already have the response from the Chilean government that does not allow us to enter. We have been testing positive for 30 days ”.
In addition, the DT added: “On Thursday we played for Sudamericana and I don’t have a team to travel tomorrow night. The government of Chile does not allow the entry of positive players. They are the same ones who played against Racing ”.
