Africa Cup: Comoros play with field players in the gate

It is undoubtedly the biggest game of the bandage history. The Comoros, 2014 Inst last of the FIFA world rankings and initial participants in the Africa Cup, contact after a sensational 3: 2 via Ghana in the round of rounds of the competition. Against host Cameroon. And will probably be denied this game with a field player in the gate.

The association had already announced on Saturday that a total of twelve people in the team and caregiver staff were positively tested on the coronavirus, including not only coaches Amir About, but also the two goalkeepers Riyadh Sussex and Ali Ahumada. Stated Forward Salem Ben BOINC had hurt his shoulder on the shoulder at the victory over Ghana and falls out for the rest of the tournament.

Last chance Exception

Although replacement keeper Ahumada was negatively tested on Monday morning, he should not play anyway. According to the comic delegation, the team was communicated to the African Football Association CAF that the Corona regulations had been adapted during the tournament. Players who have been tested positive are locked for five days for five days. Previously, actors who had been tested negatively after a positive test later, to play directly again.

Most recently, Tunisia had received a derogation for striker Rabbi Khaki from the CAF, which was less than five days after a positive test result at the 1-0 over Nigeria. Such a request also provided the Comoros for Ahumada, but the prospects are considered low.

So should not change anything, the outsider will have to compete with a field player in the gate. See the regulations. We have already chosen a field player who started in the gate, Torwarttrainer Jean-Daniel Radovan said at a press conference on Sunday - even before Ahmadi had been negatively tested. He is a player who has shown in training that he could play goalkeeper. Who it is, remained unclear so far. How so much around this case.
