Cases of COVID-19 in the Sestao River endanger his match against Izarra

The pandemic is on the rise again and has started to wreak havoc on soccer teams. Many of them and of all categories have announced cases of COVID-19 among their members. As EL CORREO has learned, the Sestao River has not been spared either. Four players from the first team have tested positive, so the club decided to suspend training yesterday and today. Given the massive spread of the virus in recent days, the green-black entity has brought the matter to the attention of the Federation, which must decide whether to suspend its match against Izarra, which was originally going to be held tomorrow at 4:00 p.m.

Sestao River faced its last game of the year tomorrow against Izarra. A direct duel between two teams that are at the top of the table and that are clear candidates to play the promotion play-off. It would also be the last to be played in Las Llanas in 2021. An appointment that the faithful green-black fan was surely looking forward to. However, everything could be ruined in the next few hours. The green-black box has not trained in any of the last two days to take extreme precautions before the notification of the positive of four first team players. Therefore, the suspension of the meeting right now is the option that sounds louder.

In the event that, finally, the body that governs the competition decides that this match is not played to avoid further contagion, both among the protagonists who will be in the green, and in the stands of Las Llanas, the match could be held at the end of week of January 15 and 16. On those dates, there is a new league break after Christmas that Sestao River and Izarra could take advantage of to recover this appointment. At the moment, the Sestao River offices are in suspense awaiting the final decision. Surprisingly, this would be the first clash to be suspended due to positives in the sixteenth-century ranks, despite the fact that most teams suffered the consequences of the pandemic last year.
