Bordeaux-OM : une reprogrammation de toute façon impossible ! – Saison
The question of maintenance of the match between Bordeaux and OM is still pending. As announced on the set of talk show, which you can find on video, the LFP will be based on the new government measures. In fact, for Bordeaux, who absolutely want to replay the meeting at a later date, it looks complicated. With the fact that a player can resume on D + 13 against D + 18 if he does not present any symptoms, Oudin, Bakwa, Gregersen, Mara, Sissokho, Lacoux, Poussin, Mexer and Kwateng, tested positive between the 17th and the December 21, so be fit from Thursday. A gruesome situation for Girondins coach Vladimir Petkovic, who recalls that his players did not have time to train by then, and that the risk of injury is therefore all the greater. New cases could lead the Bordelais to postpone this meeting by force. To be fixed, it will be necessary to wait for the verdict on Wednesday of the tests put in place for all the players in a game within 48 hours of the match.
Only two dates available and in January …
Bordeaux’s argument could point to a decision by the League. That of postponing, despite the new measures, the match between Angers and Saint-Etienne. But the decision was taken before, on December 31, when the Angevins had 19 positive cases. Difficult to come back afterwards, while Bordeaux-OM has never been deprogrammed on its side. There is another factor to take into account: the place in the OM calendar. Because the Marseille club is engaged in the Coupe de France, in the Conference League from the 1 / 16th finals, transition to other clubs (Rennes, Lyon, Monaco) qualified directly for the 1 / 8th. As it would be abnormal to prejudge that OM will leave a competition prematurely, that there are qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup outside the UEFA zone at the end of January, there are not 36 solutions to postpone a meeting of the Marseillais: there is either the possibility of delaying the match by a few days, for example on Wednesday January 12, four days before the reception of the LOSC at the Orange Vélodrome, or opting for a match a week later, on January 19. OM would travel to Bordeaux and Lens a few days later. But we must not forget that there is also a certain Lyon-OM to reprogram already. Suffice to say that replaying Bordeaux-OM seems almost impossible.
