Squad is isolated due to the many positive cases of covid-19.
The absence of Cova da Piedade in the visit to Estoril, on the eighth day of the II League, scheduled for this Friday, will not be justified, despite the fact that the Almadean squad is isolated due to infections by the new coronavirus.
“Cova da Piedade’s request for justified absence is not regulated,” said Helena Pires, director of competitions for the Portuguese Professional Football League (LPFP), that the club did not request the postponement of the meeting, scheduled for 18: 30.
According to the leader, the LPFP has information from the Health Delegate of Almada and Seixal, Lina María Hernánez, that the entire Cova da Piedade team is in prophylactic isolation, even without all the players being infected.
“This is not the protocol procedure, which led to the non-postponement of other games. This is a different case, in which the LPFP, at this moment, still does not know what will happen. We know that three hours before the game, Cova gives Piedade had to deliver the players’ medical certificates of aptitude and did not do it, ”Helena Pires stressed.
At least 15 players from Piedenses are infected with the new coronavirus and two of those who tested negative for SARS-Cov-2 were considered high-risk contacts by the local health authority, which, after conducting the epidemiological survey, determined the isolation measure for the whole team.
Helena Pires also added that the LPFP cannot postpone the meeting given the lack of an agreement to do so.
The match sheet for the match with Estoril, scheduled for 6:30 p.m., at the António Coimbra da Mota Stadium, in Estoril, must be delivered one hour and 15 minutes before, so the LPFP was waiting for that moment to confirm if same will happen.
If he does not attend the meeting, this absence is communicated by the LPFP to the Disciplinary Council (CD) of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), and number 3 of article 16 of the Competition Regulations of the LPFP determines that “the lack de The unjustified appearance of a club in the official match of a points competition determines, under the terms provided in the Disciplinary Regulations, the attribution to the opposing club of the three points corresponding to victory ”.
