The meeting between Bilbao Athletic and Barakaldo scheduled for this Saturday afternoon in Lezama has been postponed. The gualdinegro club itself has been in charge of confirming this news adopted by the Competition judge given the home confinement in which the staff led by Aitor Larrazabal is found since last week because of a positive for coronavirus within the group. The factories already missed the league clash the previous day against Portugalete for this same reason.
“The RFEF Competition Judge has made this decision due to the confinement of our staff after the positive known in our staff last week”, literally collects the tweet published by Barakaldo himself in this regard.
The manufacturing entity itself also explains on its official website that “given the circumstances of force majeure that concur, that is, the home confinement of the staff, due to a positive case of Covid-19 detected last week by our medical services”, the meeting this Saturday is suspended.
This positive case by Covid of the same Barakaldo player already forced the suspension of the match scheduled for last Sunday in Lasesarre between the factory group and Portugalete. That derby of the Left Bank could not be disputed when a positive appeared in the tests that were carried out on the squad this week. The player participated in training with the rest of his teammates on the Monday before the match. El Barakaldo detected the positive days later and notified the health authorities.
From Osakidetza All the players who trained that Monday with the soccer player with a positive result were considered to be close contacts, so they had to keep home isolation for the next eight days and later pass a PCR test to verify that they have not been infected. Home confinement, according to the facts, persists.
The Barakaldo, by the way, reported in his day that the affected player was asymptomatic.
