The match between the Czech Republic and Scotland of next Monday is canceled. The Czech association has decided not to play, as someone within the selection has tested positive for the corona virus.
In response to this news, Slavia Prague decided to recall seven players to the club in order to prevent further contamination. On Friday, the Czech Republic won 3-1 against Slovakia, but missed players Patrik Schick in Tomas Soucek. The two players had been in contact with the infected person and were in quarantine.
“The national team will not play against Scotland on Monday due to the decision of the drivers and the current situation with Covid-19,” the Czech association responds briefly to the decision not to play on Monday.
At Scotland they have received the message, but they are still waiting for a message from UEFA. “We are aware that the Czech Republic has decided not to play on Monday,” the Scottish Football Association said in a statement. “We have not yet received an official report from the Czech Football Association.”
Update: UEFA does not intend to cancel the match between the Czech Republic and Scotland just like that. The Czechs have decided to withdraw, but the European Football Association does not want to know. “They were just as amazed as we are,” Ian Maxwell said on behalf of the Scottish Football Association BBC. “Unless we get another message from UEFA, we assume we will play on Monday.”
