The COVID regulation in the Premier

Five matches have already been suspended in the Premier League due to coronavirus: Brighton-Tottenham, Brentford-Manchester United, Burnley-Watford, Leicester City-Tottenham and United-Brighton have been suspended due to the COVID outbreaks that have affected several of these parties. According to the English league guidelines, duels will only be suspended if there are fewer than 14 ‘healthy’ first-team players.

The position of the Premier League so far is to analyze the cases one by one and these days it has been known that it has rejected the request of some clubs.

This is what the Premier says: The Board of Directors evaluates requests for postponement of matches on a case-by-case basis, based on the existing rules and the guidance on postponement for COVID-19 published for all clubs. It will evaluate a number of factors, such as a club’s ability to line up a team; the status, severity and potential impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the club; and the ability of the players to prepare and play the game safely. The Board of Directors must also take into account the broader risks to the opposition and others with whom the club may come in contact.

case of Belenenses

A recent case in which a match was not suspended due to a coronavirus outbreak was the Belenenses-Benfica, the local team took the field with 9 players due to a COVID outbreak, because neither the health authorities nor the organization decided to suspend it.

The president of Benfica himself, former player Rui Costa, was among the first to react: “The two clubs were forced to play,” he said at a press conference after the match. The game came to halftime with 0-7 and between the Belenenses field players two goalkeepers from the squad. The club had suffered an outbreak of COVID that isolated 13 players, the coach, his assistants and two members of the coaching staff.

In the second half, Belenenses came out with only 7 troops and in 46 a player was injured, so the match was suspended. It is “a black page in national football,” Rui Costa stressed at the press conference.

The president of Belenenses, Rui Pedro Soares, assured after the match that they told the Portugal League that they did not want to play the match. According to Soares, the League replied that they had “eight players fit to go to the game,” so if they didn’t show up, they were committing an irregularity. (D)
