The Professional Football League has decided. The GF38, hit hard by the coronavirus, will not be able to travel to Niort on Saturday October 31 for the 9th day of Ligue 2. The match is postponed to a later date, which has not yet been specified. The “Covid” commission of the French Football Federation found “the certain absence of more than 10 players on the list of 30 players of Grenoble Foot 38 due to positive RT-PCR test. “ Impossible to play in these conditions, estimated the LFP. The GF38 has 19 cases of coronavirus, including 13 players.
The postponement of the match in Niort is not a surprise. Grenoble had already not been able to play last Saturday against Nancy. And even if the players can theoretically resume after a week of isolation if they are no longer positive, in practice, the organization is more complex. “You have to retest them, have them do a cardiac exam, and then these boys are away from the field for a week, rather woozy. So going to play with just a practice or two is almost impossible “ explained this Monday Philippe Hinschberger, the coach of Grenoble, guest of the program 100% Passion GF38 on France Bleu Isère.
