Shortly before the start of the Bundesliga game between the Rhein-Neckar Löwen and the Füchsen Berlin on Saturday evening in Mannheim, the game had to be canceled. On Friday, all of the quick tests on the foxes were negative. On Saturday, however, there were three positive cases that were confirmed with PCR tests. When the Berliners underwent another quick test in the Rhein-Neckar Löwen hall, there were “further positive results”, as stated on the Füchse Berlin website.
“It is the only right decision not to whistle the game,” said Stefan Kretzschmar, the Board of Directors Sport der Füchse. «The health of all players including the Rhein-Neckar Löwen has absolute priority. We hope that there will be no positive cases, which is unfortunately quite possible. ” All Foxes players are fully vaccinated against Corona.
On Tuesday, Pfadi Winterthur competed in the European League in Berlin and lost to the leader of Group A 29:35. It is uncertain whether the “second leg” in the Axa-Arena between Pfadi and Füchsen Berlin can take place next Tuesday due to this corona outbreak at the opponent’s. The people of Winterthur are in contact with everyone involved.
It would be the second short-term game cancellation of the current European Cup season for Scouts. On November 23, Bidasoa Irun was unable to compete in Winterthur due to several corona cases. This game should now be rescheduled on December 14th.
Urs Stanger is the head of the sports department of the Zürcher regional newspapers. He has been working in journalism since FC Winterthur’s last National League A season.
