Madness in Copa Libertadores, Boca authorized to field coronavirus positive footballers.
While in Europe the matches are postponed due to the coronavirus, Boca will be able to play in the Copa Libertadores also fielding its positive players.
Crazy decision by Conmebol (tournament organizer) and the Paraguayan Ministry of Health (in fact the match will be played in Paraguay).
So Boca will not only play with positive players, but will also be able to travel from Argentina to Paraguay.
Recall that Boca has 18 coronavirus positive footballers. Eight are asymptomatic but ten have symptoms (albeit mild …).
While in the rest of the world greater attention is paid to avoiding coronavirus infections, in South America they allow patients to move from country to country and even take the field.
And what do the opponents say?
Libertad, opponent of Boca Juniors in what is practically the Champions League of South America, did not take it at all well.
The club is outraged by the decision taken by both Conmebol (which is South American Uefa) and the Paraguayan health ministry.
Libertad has not yet announced whether or not it will be in the game but has already announced the appeal. The press release of the Paraguayan club is published in the Gazzetta dello Spot.
"Immediate appeal against a decision that endangers the health not only of the players but also of the entire Paraguayan population" (source La Gazzetta dello Sport ).
