And 2! After USO-Sedan last Friday, it’s the Concarneau-USO meeting Who is carried over to the National championship, still because of the Covid which is raging within the Orleans football team. The match in Brittany, against the leader, counting for the 18th day, was to take place this Friday.
Last week, the Orleans club had recorded 5 positive cases in Covid within the professional group. Yesterday, further tests came back positive. How many ? The club remains discreet, but “there is enough for the match to be postponed“, precise Boris Luce, the general manager of the USO. That is to say at least 4 new players affected within a week of the match, according to the protocol in force for the National championship.
If all goes well, the USO will therefore return to competition on friday january 21 with the reception of Boulogne-sur-Mer (for the 19th day of National). In the meantime, training continues, but with a small staff; the schedule may then be very busy for the players of Orleans, since it will be necessary to find dates to play the 2 games thus postponed.
