A new health protocol in Ligue 1
In addition, Ligue 1 football clubs received this Monday, January 4, a new protocol to follow: mandatory screening test 48 hours before each match. And this, for all the players of the team, vaccinated or not. Until then, only the unvaccinated had to do so. Pascal Robert, the general manager of Stade Brestois specifies: “We will surely use a laboratory again to test the squad and the staff before the matches; as we had done previously. We prefer to keep these tests under our control and avoid the players themselves running from pharmacies to pharmacies to be tested “, details the director.
