Portugisisk fotbollsklubb drabbad av 13 omikronfall
Tretton spelare och ledare i den portugisiska fotbollsklubben Belenenses har testat positivt för den nya coronavarianten omikron. Detta efter att en spelare i klubben nyligen återvänt från Sydafrika, skriver Reuters.
– Vi är i karantän allihop förutom ungdomslaget som inte spelade i lördags. 44 sitter isolerade hemma, säger en talesperson för klubben, som kommer från Lissabon och spelar i den portugisiska högstaligan.
Beskedet kommer två dagar efter att Belenenses på grund av utbrottet bara kunde ställa upp med nio spelare i matchen mot topplaget Benfica. Vid ställningen 7–0 till Benfica avbröt domaren matchen sedan två spelare vägrat komma ut efter pausvilan och målvakten utgått med en påstådd skada.
