A number of corona infections have been identified within the selection and staff of Jong AZ. The club reports that on the website. Due to a large number of infections, the Alkmaarders cannot assemble a team and tonight’s game against TOP Oss cannot continue.
“Despite great caution, Young AZ is struggling with such a number of corona infections within the staff and player group that it was decided to postpone the match after consultation with the KNVB,” AZ writes on the website. A spokesperson for AZ says that none of the infected players was on the training camp to Spain.
The KNVB rule is that teams must have at least twelve players plus a goalkeeper. Jong AZ could not meet that condition to be able to play a match.
It is still unknown when TOP Oss – Jong AZ will be overtaken. Earlier in the day, the Excelsior – ADO Den Haag match was also canceled due to corona destinations.
