Multiplication of cases of Covid-19 in Bordeaux, the Coupe de France match against Brest uncertain

Can the round of 16 of the Coupe de France scheduled for next Sunday between Bordeaux and Brest take place normally?

The question arises seriously in view of the accumulation of positive cases of Covid-19 among the Girondins, who have asked the FFF to postpone the meeting.

The resumption of training this Wednesday morning thus took place in a small committee, since around ten positive cases for Covid-19, including Edson Mexer and Laurent Koscielny, were detected following PCR tests.

According to information from RMC, faced with this situation, the Bordeaux management submitted a report to the FFF, which will have to quickly communicate on this subject.

As a reminder, the championship match of a week ago between Bordeaux and Lille had already been threatened, five cases having been detected on the side of the Girondins.

The Lille champion of France had finally won in Aquitaine (3-2).

Today, Stian Gregersen, Issouf Sissokho, Sékou Mara, Enock Kwateng, Tom Lacoux, Gaëtan Poussin and Edson Mexer have not completed their period of isolation.

Rémi Oudin and Dilane Bakwa, also affected by the virus, should return to Haillan.

Gideon Mensah is in Doha with Ghana to prepare for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Finally, Junior Onana is still injured in the right hamstring.
