Zenit de Saint Petersburg, which has been severely affected by the coronavirus, will not play in Tuesday’s game against Baskonia de Vitoria and in Thursday’s game against Valencia de Valencia, the club stayed in Russia.
Up to 13 cases of coronavirus have been recorded in Zenit, so there are not enough players left to compete. The Saint Petersburg team has asked the Euroleague to postpone the match, but has received no response so far. The Euroleague has confirmed that the match will not be played, but has not yet decided whether to postpone the match to another date.
Zenit SPB did not travel to Spain for tomorrow’s game against Baskonia.
The Russian team has yet to receive any response from the Euroleague on their request to postpone the two games due to several cases of covid in the team (8 players and 3 coaches), they told me.– Emiliano Carchia (@Carchia) October 12, 2020
Zenit face two technical defeats to the clubs of Vitoria and Valencia before the game is postponed. The Euroleague has already set such a precedent by recording a failure by Cedevita Olimpija in Ljubljana, who was unable to contest the European Cup.
With only 6 healthy players in the rest of the Russian team, the disease did not escape and Artūras Gudaitis, whose COVID-19 test was positive.
The circumstances were especially favorable for the Vitoria Club. The game against Zenit will not be played in the double week, and the second rival from the Moscow region, Chimki, arrived in Spain in eight and will still have a match against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
