Greuther Fürth: Five players infected – Corona emergency in Fürth – 2nd Bundesliga

Corona shock in Fürth!

Before the Bundesliga game on Saturday at SC Freiburg, there were five corona cases within the team. That said, coach Stefan Leitl (44) on Friday. But he left it open which player it is.

The game against Freiburg is not in danger! Fürth has just enough professionals available to muster the 13 men required by the DFL.

These affected players are in quarantine at home. “We can play in Freiburg,” assured Leitl. “We bring a powerful force to the field.”

In addition, full-back Marco Meyerhöfer is still missing due to a bad cold and Justin Hoogma, who has torn a partial tear of the inner ligament in his left knee.

This also motivates the bottom of the table.

“I do think that it can release strength because the group has to move even closer together,” said Leitl about the personal problems in the bottom of the table without a win.

Managing director Rachid Azzouzi (50) said that the corona cases had mild symptoms, one of which had almost no symptoms. You cannot say 100 percent where the infections come from. “We are almost completely vaccinated, so it surprised us a bit,” admitted Azzouzi, without saying whether the cases might also be vaccination breakthroughs.
