While training resumed on Wednesday on the lawn of Espace FCL in Ploemeur, in Morbihan, five FC Lorient players have tested positive to Covid-19 and placed in solitary confinement. “They tested positive on Tuesday”, specifies the Lorient coach Christophe Pélissier. We do not know which players it is, for questions of medical confidentiality.
The positive players have been placed in solitary confinement for at least seven days. The next match of the Merlus, who are 19th in Ligue 1, will take place in Lille on Saturday, January 8, for the resumption of the French championship.
No friendly match or travel to Belgium
Christophe Pélissier also clarified that FC Lorient, eliminated from the Coupe de France, will not play a friendly match on Sunday January 2, as it had initially been envisaged. The club will not perform no internship in Belgium either before the match in Lille, for health reasons.
According to the latest health protocol of the Professional Football League, a match can be postponed if a club is not able to field 20 capable players including a goalkeeper, registered on the official list of 30 players declared on the morning of the match. .
