On Sunday, Umeå FC host AFC Eskilstuna at home in Superettan. So Norrland’s team is forced into the game without eleven players, who have tested positive for the corona virus.
Umeå therefore asked the competition committee of the Swedish Football Association on Thursday to postpone the match, but now the club has announced that it has been rejected and that the match will therefore be played as scheduled.
“On Thursday, Umeå FC submitted a request to postpone this weekend’s match in Superettan against AFC Eskilstuna due to the extreme situation in which they find themselves with eleven confirmed cases of Covid-19 in team A In the afternoon, the message came from the SvFF competition committee that the match will be carried out as planned, “writes Umeå on his website.
Umeå club manager Danny Persson, in turn, comments on the decision as follows:
– Of course it is not the decision we expected and believed in, but we are preparing for the match, writes Persson in a text message to Västerbottens-Kuriren.
Umeå is 14th in the Superettan, while AFC Eskilstuna is second in the series.
