Handball: PSG's first Champions League match threatened

The date had been checked for weeks in the diaries of the handball players of the PSG.

And she was eagerly awaited by all players.

After long months of forced rest due to the health crisis, which caused the stoppage or suspension of all competitions in March, the capital club would finally return to the official grounds this Thursday, September 17 with the start of the Champions League.

The Parisians were to go to the Hungarians of Pick Szeged.

But this duel at the top is very uncertain today.

Threat.

The Hungarian club indeed announced on Monday in a press release that it had a positive Covid-19 case in its entourage, without specifying who it was exactly.

All players and staff were subsequently quarantined.

They must also pass PCR tests.

While awaiting the results, the team has stopped all training and suspended all scheduled events.

Szeged warned the Hungarian and European federations (EHF) as provided for in the health protocol.

This announcement, just three days before the shock, confirms the complexity of currently organizing such an international event.

PSG are waiting for more information on the situation.

The club of the capital must, for the moment, fly away this Wednesday morning for Hungary.

If the match was postponed, Nikola Karabatic's partners will start their European campaign on September 23 with the reception of the Germans from Flensburg-Handewitt.

The Starligue will begin on the 27th with the reception of Aix for the seven-time champion of France.
