This Friday morning, the players of Paris FC trained normally on the eve of going to Chambly during the first day of Ligue 2. But the excitement of resuming the season has turned into serious concern. After tests carried out this week (including the last Thursday), three players in the pro workforce tested positive for Covid-19 and immediately placed in isolation.
After the new impetus given by the arrival of Bahrain as a shareholder, an almost perfect preparation (6 wins in 7 games), this news threw a big chill within the club. As soon as the results were announced on Thursday evening, the club informed the LFP (professional football league) as provided for in the protocol and President Pierre Ferracci himself called Fulvio Luzi, his counterpart from Chambly
"Avoid the spread of the virus in the club", says Pierre Ferracci, the president of the Parisian club
“We have been spared so far but this news is not encouraging. Our concern is obviously to avoid the spread of the virus in the club but also in the opposing team, explains Pierre Ferracci. I hope that we are not in the emergence of a cluster, with the difficulty that all clubs encounter today with the incubation time which may give rise to other positive cases in the coming days. I believe we are really on our way to a very complicated season despite the drastic and costly measures that all clubs have put in place. But we will face it. It will weld the club and the team. "
If he prepared to play in Chambly on Saturday (7 p.m. at Beauvais) Paris FC, which also has several injuries, is awaiting information from the LFP's Covid commission which may decide to postpone the match.
