Is this an effect of Covid-19? Thursday followingnoon, following an RCT training session, a Espoir player suffered from heart palpitations. He had contracted the coronavirus recently. After taking the time to recover, he joined the pros to compensate for the absences of players in a decimated workforce. Noting arrhythmias, the medical staff decided to send her to the hospital for further examinations.
The report with the virus is envisaged, as indicated by Franck Azema, the manager of the RCT, this Friday. “We had a player hospitalized this morning because he was in heart trouble,” he said. Proof that this virus is not trivial and that it impacts the health of our players. So we must not take risks. The trip to La Rochelle, scheduled for Sunday, will also be postponed due to too many positive cases within the Var workforce. This will be the third game postponed for the Toulonnais since the emergence of the Omicron variant at the end of December. They have not played in a league match since their 16-16 draw on December 4 in Pau.
As of Wednesday, President Bernard Lemaître had shown himself inflexible. “We will not play,” he said in an interview with the Team. We follow the rules. You need six capable players on the front row. If I was ever told to make do, to play our juniors, I would say no. I accept the consequences, but we won’t do anything. An epidemic outbreak also emerged among the Rochelais this week, where a dozen positive cases were revealed. Toulouse – Montpellier should also be postponed.
