La Gloria reported four positive cases within the squad and two other players who were close contacts.
Flamengo e Institute would meet in Rio de Janeiro on Friday night to close the first round of the Group D from Champions League Americas, but the meeting was suspended due to positive cases of coronavirus in the Argentine campus.
There were four positive cases of La Gloria: Santiago Scala, Ignacio Alessio, Mateo Chiarini and Martín Cuello. In addition, the club confirmed that the close contacts of those infected, Néstor Colmenares and Pablo Espinosa, were also isolated.
It is worth clarifying that all of them were present in Thursday’s game against Minas. Regarding the replacement of the duel, the organization did not have anything at the moment. There will be time for the replacement of the duel until March, the month in which the second round of the groups would begin to determine the four classified.
Flamengo-Institute is postponed. In accordance with the FIBA COVID-19 protocol and following the recommendation of our medical officers, the BCL Americas decided to postpone the match between Flamengo (Brazil) and Instituto (Argentina), which was due to be played today in Rio de Janeiro.
