Coronavirus: Reims midfielder Mathieu Cafaro under surveillance

French football has not yet been disrupted by the spread of the coronavirus and all Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 matches will be held this weekend in stadiums open to the public. But Stade de Reims must manage its first potential case of the virus with Mathieu Cafaro, L'Union said . The 22-year-old was placed under surveillance due to the risk of contamination.

For the moment, the player does not present any symptoms but his state of health is the subject of particular attention. It could be in the fortnight. Mathieu Cafaro made a trip to Venice, Italy, the country most affected by coronavirus in Western Europe at the moment. The player thus took advantage of the three days of rest granted to the professional group by offering a getaway, which worried the leaders.

Reims continues to prepare for their match of the 26th day of Ligue 1 against Monaco (this Saturday at 8:00 p.m.) and the absence of Mathieu Cafaro in the group will not upset the team: injured in hamstring, the midfielder has not been called since the beginning of February.
