This time, the Parc OL will welcome a summit between Lyonnaises and Parisiennes on Sunday (2 p.m.). Just like in women’s D1 18 days earlier (PSG was then affected), the quarter-final return of the Champions League between the two biggest French teams could not go as planned, on March 31, due to many cases of Covid-19 at OL. A total of 15 players and staff tested positive for the coronavirus between March 26 and April 5.
This Tuesday, the Lyon club informs that the last PCR tests carried out the day before have no longer revealed the slightest case of Covid-19 within its female professional group. Still awaiting its internationals summoned during this truce, who will also have to carry out PCR tests as soon as they return from selection, OL are preparing to finally be able to resume their collective training.
The club recalls this Tuesday, in a press release, having respected “the ten days of isolation required by the ARS”, before putting in place “an individual recovery protocol in order to better prepare for the quarter-final return of the League of champions ”. Despite his goal ahead of the first leg (0-1), this very complex preparation makes this new clash with PSG more indecisive than ever.
