Serie A, coronavirus: 10 positive players in Genoa. Do you play or postpone?

The positivity in Covid of 14 members of Genoa shakes Italian football. Is Rossoblu’s next game in danger, Saturday in Marassi against Torino? It must be said that although Uefa has established a ceiling of 13 infected players to cause the postponement (not defeat at the table) of a Cup match, in Italy a limit has not yet been established, so at this time , in the absence of specific legislation: Genoa and Turin should play regularly on Saturdays at 6pm. Unless the Serie A League decides otherwise in the next few days. The party in that case would move to midweek with European commitments. And Torino should appeal by asking to play anyway on Saturday.

Fear of Naples

But this is the first case of collective contagion and the repercussions are easily imaginable. Based on the concern of Napoli, yesterday’s rival to Grifone. After the official status of the 14 positive cases from Genoa, swabs were made among the Azzurri who fear widespread contagion. And on Sunday night Juve-Napoli is scheduled.

Psg and Flamengo

However, the pandemic has already hit other soccer fields. The most recent cases concern PSG and Flamengo. The champions of France and vice-champions of Europe in the recovery of the first day of Ligue 1 lost 1-0 at home against Lens having had to give up seven players, and all of them weight, positive for Covid: Mbappé, Neymar, Icardi, Por María, Marquinhos, Navas and Paredes. The Brazilians, on the other hand, had to go out onto the pitch with many U-20s (only two starters on the pitch) against Palmeiras, breaking 1-1, after registering up to 19 positives among their members. Flamengo had unsuccessfully asked the sports authorities to postpone the match, which was later established by the Rio de Janeiro Regional Labor Court and finally canceled by another higher court near the start of the match.
