The soap opera seemed over, but it isn't.
One of the Comorian goalkeepers who tonight (at 20) have to face Cameroon in a match of the 8 / i finals of the African Cup of Nations, returned negative, but he will not be able to play because the health protocol of the tournament has been changed in progress of opera.
This was announced by the president of the Comoros football federation, a revelation team of the Cup that was left without the three goalkeepers between injuries and Covid cases (two). Saïd Athouman explained that "Ali Ahmada came back negative, everything went ok even in the complementary exams, but according to Caf (continental football body ed) he cannot play". In fact, the manager explained, there is a new health protocol, given that during the competition the one that was in force was changed, according to which a player who is positive when he returns negative must in any case observe "a confinement" five days before returning to the field.
Hence the impossibility of deploying Ali Ahmada, formerly Toulouse and Kayserispor, unless the request for a derogation made by the Comoros fderazione is accepted, based on the fact that yesterday Tunisia sent on the field its captain Wahbi Khazri, macth winner of the challenge against Nigeria, which had just returned from Covid for less than five days.
"We will see what they answer us" Athouman commented.
