Rayo turns around and his match against Mirandés is postponed until Sunday

Rayo Vallecano finally canceled their trip to Miranda and the game scheduled for Saturday, at 4:00 p.m., is postponed until Sunday. LaLiga has confirmed the change of day, but not the new schedule, subject to the evolution of the storm. The franjirroja expedition, which was traveling divided into two coaches, had to turn around due to the intense snowfall and arrived at the Sports City about five hours after starting the journey. And it is that, in almost three hours of journey, the buses could barely advance to Las Tablas.

The afternoon was rough. Less than 24 hours to Anduva's match four positives were confirmed in the Ray. Andoni Iraola, visibly worried, explained in the preview: “We are in a very complex situation. Unfortunately, since the Cup match we have not been able to train. We have four positives, one of them is a bit extraordinary because it was someone who had antibodies. He traveled with the PCR done because he had antibodies and it turns out that it has been positive. Associated with them are nine close contacts, some are footballers and others are not“.

As AS learned, two of the positives correspond to players and the other two to the coaching staff. In addition, there are nine contacts associated with these positives, five of them footballers —One has symptoms despite having had a negative CRP — and four belonging to the staff. The Rayista expedition had planned to travel at 5:00 p.m., but had to delay his departure until 19:30, after LaLiga gave him the green light. A journey that, due to the weather conditions, did not look too good.

Iraola explained how the situation was while he awaited the steps to follow. “We are trying to deal as best we can, waiting for instructions from LaLiga to know how to act and make the least possible mistakes. It is true that we have been trying to solve this in the best way for a couple of days. If it is decided that we travel, we will and we have players to compete and fight to the fullest. We are going to get an eleven of guarantees to fight a game that will be very difficult, “he said.

This appointment was going to be special for the coach, since he was returning to what was his home last season, Anduva. “I have very nice memories of that stage. It is a club that is doing things very well and it is managing its resources perfectly. He is clear about what he wants to be and what player profile he wants. It has about six footballers that we will end up seeing in Primera very soon. The numbers are there “, sentenced.
