Not only are a number of selection players ill, the flu virus also affected youth players, trainers and employees. This became apparent last Wednesday when AZ took on FC Groningen for the cup. During the match, David Möller Wolfe had to be substituted because he was not feeling well. And Jordy Clasie threw up afterwards. That is why Martens decided to take measures. “To further avoid the risks, we had the boys train individually. And today we moved to the stadium.”
“Everyone has a bit of a stomach ache,” Martens says at the weekly press conference. Clasie and Möller Wolfe are doing a lot better, but now other players have been infected by the virus. “But I prefer not to mention their names.”
The Alkmaarders will play against FC Twente in front of their own audience tomorrow. NH Sport will be present and will report on this match via the live blog. Afterwards the interviews will appear on this site.
