Covid case in the Hôtel des Bleus: France-Ukraine preparation disrupted

2021-03-23T10:04:31.790Z


The world champions had to change their plan due to cases of covid among the staff of their hotel in Enghien-les-Bains.


Change of program.

And habits.

The Blues of Didier Deschamps will not see the lake of Enghien-les-Bains and will not benefit from the fresh and sunny air of the thermal city this Tuesday.

Expected in the Val-d'Oise (95) in the morning and for a period of three days before their departure for Kazakhstan on Friday, the French team will finally stay in Clairefontaine.

The reason ?

Several cases of Covid-19 have been recorded among the staff of the Enghiennois hotel, rendering the reception of the world champions obsolete.

Suddenly, the selection will remain in its usual cocoon of Clairefontaine to prepare for the first meeting against the Ukrainians on Wednesday evening (8:45 p.m.) in Saint-Denis.

The French team's program has been modified following the detection of several Covid-19 cases at the hotel in Enghien-les-Bains.

The Blues remain at Clairefontaine until Friday and their departure for Kazakhstan.

No risk is taken by Didier Deschamps and his staff, anxious to respect the health protocol and to keep all their vital forces intact within a workforce made up of 26 elements.

Since Monday, the Lloris, Mbappé, Giroud and their whole gang have entered the famous health “bubble” and have been prohibited from leaving it.

PCR tests, antigens, collective travel ... Everything is cleverly orchestrated to avoid the slightest risk taking in an international sequence where the France team will begin its qualifications for the 2022 World Cup with three matches in barely ten days.

Ukraine Wednesday at the Stade de France, a long trip to Kazakhstan with a match scheduled for Sunday and in the wake of a trip to Bosnia, without returning to Paris, for a final meeting scheduled for the following Wednesday.
