Euro 2021: negative PCR tests for the Blues

2021-05-29T05:34:53.324Z


The twenty-six players and the staff were checked Wednesday on their arrival at Clairefontaine where the preparation for the Euro begins.


It doesn't look like much, but it's already a small victory.

After the PCR tests carried out on Wednesday on their arrival at Clairefontaine, no player or member of the staff of the France team was declared positive for Covid-19.

A real relief, insofar as the threat of possible contamination will weigh like a sword of Damocles throughout the Euro, which begins on June 11.

Indeed, if one of the 26 Blues were to contract the virus before or during the competition, there will be no half-measures.

UEFA's regulations, like those which will be in force during the Tokyo Olympics, are clear.

His Euro will be definitively finished.

Morning training for our Blues!

“You know, today it's crippling: from the moment a player is positive, it's over, reminded coach Didier Deschamps on Wednesday.

He leaves the competition.

There is no isolation period that would allow the player to be found afterwards.

Regarding that, we will continue to be vigilant.

"

The regulations of the European body indeed stipulate that “the final lists of the 26 must be communicated before June 1.

Once the lists have been communicated, substitutions before the first match are unlimited in the event of serious injury or illness (including Covid-19 or contact cases).

Goalkeepers may be replaced during the tournament in the event of physical incapacity, although one or two listed goalkeepers are still available.

A player who has been removed from the roster can no longer re-enter it.

"

All the French technical staff have already received their two doses of vaccine.

Among the players, Kylian Mbappé exhibited his right arm on social networks with a small plaster after receiving his first dose.
