The Starligue, the elite of French handball, is becoming very complicated to follow.
Since the start of the season, we have not counted the number of games postponed due to cases of Covid-19.
Knowing that a new agenda imposed by the European Federation forces the championship to take place on weekends rather than Wednesday and Thursday before, with meetings behind closed doors due to the health crisis.
This Sunday (4 p.m.), PSG welcomes Chartres (12th) as the leader to start updating its calendar.

Chartres replaces Istres
Untouchable leader of the championship with nine successes in as many outings so far, PSG are facing a schedule without tail or head.
This Sunday, in Coubertin, he should have received Istres on behalf of the 11th day.
But the meeting was postponed earlier this week because of cases of Covid-19 in the Provencal workforce.
This was the reason why the reception in Chartres had been postponed to November.
Taking advantage of December 6, now free, Paris and the Eure-et-Loir club have agreed to play their late match.
Behind closed doors, it can be followed live on the Parisian club's Facebook page and on its official website with Daniel Narcisse in the comments.
Former Parisians as adversaries
Winner in Tremblay (25-28) Thursday, Chartres returns to Ile-de-France and will land at the Coubertin stadium, Porte de Saint-Cloud, with former Parisians in its ranks.
Like the Ukrainian Sergiy Onufriyenko, who participated in the first PSG Final Four in the Champions League in 2015-2016.
Or Zacharia N'Diaye, double champion of France with Paris in 2013 and 2015.
Paris turned to the Champions League
With the approach of the Final Four of the 2020 Champions League in Cologne (Germany), with the semi-final against Barcelona on Monday, December 28, PSG should not have much to fear from this confrontation against Chartres who has always bowed during their confrontations.
Paris especially hopes that no wounded will come to fill the infirmary.
