Due to injuries and corona cases, the people from Brabant only have ten fit players, including two goalkeepers. Too little to play. “That is impossible,” says general manager Philippe van Esch in the Eindhoven Dagblad.
According to the rules of the football association, clubs must have twelve field players plus one goalkeeper to play, but then corona must be the main cause for the laundry list of absentees. According to the KNVB, however, there is no question of ‘a medically uncontrolled outbreak’ at Helmond Sport.
