Granada has formally requested the Competition Committee of the Spanish Federation to postpone the match that it has to face Real in Anoeta (4.15pm) due to the outbreak of coronavirus that affects your staff. Previously, he transferred the request to LaLiga, which denied the request. LaLiga intends for the game to be played and, in addition, forces the Andalusian club to compete only with footballers immune to Covid-19, that is, players who have overcome the disease and have antibodies, which puts the game in check in the Gipuzkoan capital .
Granada argues that it does not have a sufficient number of immune players and, as a measure of pressure, it decided to travel to the capital of Gipuzkoa on the same day of the match and thus rush its options. If he is finally forced to gamble, he could do so precariously, with only a handful of professional footballers from his first team.
The origin of the request for the postponement of Real-Granada this afternoon in Anoeta it's in the positive for Covid-19 of the rojiblanco player, Antonio
Doors, during his team's trip to Cyprus for the Europa League game in Nicosia on Thursday. Previously, Granada had already had cases of Vallejo Y Soldier (he's about to get over it). The technician, Diego MartinezIt also did not move to Cypriot lands due to an inconclusive positive that was officially confirmed yesterday. In addition, three members of the Nasrid coaching staff and their delegate are also infected, which, if they play, would lead to physical trainer, Víctor Lafuente, to lead the team as he did in the Europa League.
What makes the situation different from other teams with positives, such as Real Madrid, who will play normally, is the fact that Antonio
Doors share a trip with the rest of his companions to Cyprus. Upon returning from the expedition to Pomegranate, the entire staff passed tests PCR on Friday. They are the same analytics that the Real. Those that, under normal conditions, should give the green light to all the 'negatives' to play the next day. LaLiga, however, when considering the case of Doors, does not accept as sufficient, based on its protocol, the ‘negatives’ in the PCR and requires Granada to play in Anoeta with footballers who have a positive IGG index (immune) or have a negative PCR and have not traveled to Cyprus. Granada says that, in that case, it does not have enough players and asks for the suspension. LaLiga understands that they have enough players, that they can travel and that it is not appropriate to postpone the match.
The regulations that were approved on September 7 to face the current championship, adapted to the peculiar conditions marked by the pandemic, make it clear that everyone clubs are obliged to play as long as they have a minimum of 13 players between the professional staff and their affiliate teams. It is enough that 5 are from the first team, although they must always remain on the grass. Granada, a priori, would have available to Luis Suárez, Jorge Molina, Darwin Machís, Yan Eteki, Nehuén, Kennedy and Soldado, which would be recovered. It is not clear that Yangel
Herrera, who passed the disease months ago, keep the antibodies in your body that make you immune. There could be another player who has not transcended in that situation since LaLiga manages that Granada has up to 11 immune systems. One of its main problems is that I would have to play with
a youth goalkeeper since the two of the subsidiary also traveled to Cyprus together with Rui Silva and Aaron.
The Junta de Andalucía, which could have mediated in favor of Granada by allowing the ‘negatives’ in the PCR to travel, does not plan to position itself but would have placed full responsibility for whether or not they play in LaLiga. Real and Granada have until midnight to present allegations before the Competition Committee that will decide on Sunday if it is played.
