This Tuesday, the Chilean press reported that the second leg of the quarterfinals of the South American Cup between Coquimbo Unido and Atlético Junior would be postponed due to a new case of covid-19 detected in the shark squad.
The media La Tercera assured that the southern team requested to postpone the international meeting, so the president of the institution himself would have contacted Conmebol, and would be waiting for a final resolution from the entity.
However, according to El Heraldo, the second leg of the South American Cup would not be postponed because there are no more dates available, and also because the clubs have players available, after the roster quotas were expanded, from 30 to 40 players.
“The Herald was able to establish through a source from Conmebol “that it is impossible for the game to be postponed” because there are no more dates available. In addition, the informant explained that due to the circumstances of the pandemic the quotas of the payroll were expanded from 30 to 40 players and the clubs have to have players available, “the media said.
For now, there is no type of pronouncement by Conmebol or the Barranquilla group, so an official statement regarding the case is expected in the coming hours. It is also expected that on Wednesday morning, new PCR tests will be carried out on the rojiblancos players.
Junior faces Coquimbo Unido this Wednesday, December 15, for the second leg of the South American Cup. The first leg duel was 1-2 in favor of the pirates.
