A wave of Covid-19 has just passed through the Niortais locker room. The Deux Sèvres club announced this Wednesday afternoon the positive tests of a twenty sound players “extended sports group“. Three days before the trip to Normandy for the resumption of the championship of League 2 after the winter break, the leaders of Niort could request the report of the match against the SM Caen.
As a reminder, according to the protocol applied by the Professional Football League, any club can request a match report if it meets one of the following two criteria: either if it no longer has a minimum of 20 players, including a goalkeeper, on his official list of 30 declared. either from 11 players affected at the same time, which seems to be the case for chamois.

So far, only one weed keeper has been assessed positively in the Covid-19, it is Franklin wadja, which is also blocked in Tunisia pending a negative test.
