COVID continues to wreak havoc in the world of soccer. The Omicron variant is causing an increase in cases in LaLiga. The new protocol of the employer’s association establishes that all clubs carry out PCR tests after the holidays, which is why new cases are emerging. Although in the Premier, this increase in infections has forced the suspension of several meetings, Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga, said a few days ago: “We hope not to have to stop any match.”
In addition to PCR, the new regulation establishes that players must undergo a daily antigen test to access the club’s facilities, as well as match days for local players and travel day for visitors. To this must be added other weekly tests during the first 15 days of January as well as serological control to avoid possible infections. Finally, it should be noted that the regulations add that PCR will also be required after FIFA breaks, new winter signings as well as players who return after three days or more of rest.
The measures for postponement of matches maintain that in the Second Division, a maximum of two matches can be postponed as long as they do not occur after Matchday 34. For a game to be postponed due to COVID, teams must not have a minimum of 13 players (between first team and subsidiary) for the summons and that they always have during the match with five footballers with a first team card. To date, LigaSmartBank has 89 positive players.
