Corona alarm at RB Salzburg!
The Austrian double winner reports 15 corona cases in the team and in the support team. They appeared during a routine check.
Some of the actors are said to be suffering from rather mild symptoms. Of course, all affected people have gone into quarantine. Training on Wednesday was canceled and further test series are to take place in the next few days.
Salzburg is playing Bayern Munich in the Champions League Round of 16 and drew 1-1 in the first leg. The second leg in Munich will not take place until March 8th, in just under two weeks. By then, some players could already have left the quarantine. Nevertheless, the preparation for the premier class is of course significantly disrupted.
Sports director Christoph Freund (44): “We are currently still ready to train and play. However, we now have to monitor the further development of the uninfected players very closely in coordination with our medical department and react to them if necessary.
Salzburg is tightening the hygiene and safety measures for the team with immediate effect. Spectators are no longer allowed during the training sessions. All public events will also be canceled or postponed.
