Corona Alarm at KV Mechelen. After the three positive cases earlier this week (Togui, Peyre and test goalkeeper Wenssens), the club got the news this morning that eight other players have tested positive. It would be Vranckx, Schoofs, Kaya, Voet, Shved, Bouzian and Boni. Bushiri would also have taken a positive test after his week in quarantine. Due to the new wave of infections, the match of KV Mechelen against Eupen on Saturday is postponed.

The players got the news from the club doctor before breakfast and were stunned. After a short consultation, the morning training was canceled, everyone was immediately sent home. Saturday’s game in Eupen cannot take place. Pro League regulations provide for a postponement if there are more than seven infected players at a club.

As a result, there are three games in the Jupiler Pro League next weekend that cannot continue due to corona. After all, on Thursday Mouscron reported nine infected players, Friday the Hainauts reported another four new infections and so the match against Cercle will be opposed. On Friday, the Pro League already announced that the Sunday’s match between Charleroi and Waasland-Beveren will certainly be postponed. The Waaslanders came yesterday with the news that no one has been cured of their infections from last week, and that there is even one extra positive case.
