wybmadwity Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54499407 A further five Republic of Ireland players are out of Sunday's Nations League game against Wales after one of them tested positive for Covid-19. The Football Association of Ireland said that an unnamed player tested positive on Friday after having tested negative last Monday. Four other squad members identified as close contacts of the player have also been stood down for Sunday's match. .... While injured pair David McGoldrick and James McCarthy are ruled out, the squad shows no sign of centre-back John Egan, forward Callum Robinson and midfielders Alan Browne and Callum O'Dowda, who all featured in Slovakia.

BCFCGav Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Bother. Keep him well away from the rest of the squad until we’re sure. There were always going to be ‘bumps’ this season, it’s all about responding to them safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Certainly looks as if COD is one of the four to be stood down. If so, almost certainly to be in isolation for the next couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City seem to be testing weekly on a Monday or Tuesday, so he will miss that testing routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCulturalBomb Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 The more cases a day the more this will happen. Even with regular squad testing I can see football being postponed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with regular squad testing I can see football being postponed again. Tranmere played a makeshift side yesterday after player(s) had to isolate. They feared a 15pt deduction for not fulfilling the fixture. I’m not sure why they feared that when other clubs have been allowed to postpone games this season. Clubs are gonna have to think about creating bubbies whilst infection rates are climbing, or we will end up with a farce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone can be arsed I'm sure it wouldn't take long to work out who it was as they said whoever it was didn't feature last Thursday, listed the 4 who would be missing for being in close contact, listed another 2 for being in close contact with a positive staff member and then listed two more out injured..... Can't leave too many options...... Trouble is....I can't be arsed to work it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerRed Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Thanks. I eventually caught up with the Guardian piece which named the four. Still find it odd that it has to be confidential in these days of track and trace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still find it odd that it has to be confidential in these days of track and trace. There's still patient confidentiality to consider. The people who need to know (because they've been in contact with him) will have been informed. It doesn't need to go wider - track and trace only advises if you've been in contact with a person who tested positive. I don't believe it tells you who that person was. I suppose it's down to the player if he wants the information released to people unaffected by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
