Many infections in Serie A, Olbia and LegaPro will not take the field of the 9 Dinamo men and women waiting for news for the next matches
SASSARI. Last-minute postponements, entire shifts postponed and to be recovered who knows when, calendars that go towards traffic jam. The new wave of Covid once again puts the jaws on the sport, which sails through the holiday season with enormous difficulty both nationally and regionally.
The Serie A football championship, which played in the last round of 2021 on December 22, will return to the field on Thursday, on the day of the Epiphany, but even if the situation is currently under control. practically in every team there have been cases of positivity among the players. Cagliari will face Sampdoria without Nandez, but in the meantime the main European leagues are apprehensive about what could happen during the African Cup: the continental event, already postponed last year, will begin on Sunday 9 with the match between Cameroon and Burkina Faso. The Gambia, in its first participation, has renounced the two friendly preparations, due to Codivd being unavailable. An alarm signal for all those European clubs that had threatened not to leave their African national teams, except then to reach the compromise of a delayed departure. Thus, the Italian Serie A and the English Premier are the two leagues that pay the heaviest duty. Napoli and Milan are the teams that will lose important pawns, even if the Osimhen case ended with the renunciation of the call of Nigeria after the ascertained positivity. The tournament will have heavy repercussions on the Premier, on Serie A, on La Liga, on the Bundesliga, a little less on Ligue 1. The list of Serie A players who will play the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon has about twenty names.

Going down one category, in Serie D, the two recoveries scheduled on Wednesday that should have involved the island teams (Afragolese-Torres and Carbonia-Aprilia) have been postponed again, while it is not yet clear what will happen for the day scheduled on the 9th. January.
The same goes for the regional championships, from Excellence downwards, which after the day played on December 30th should return to the field on the 9th.
Basket at the window. Legabasket in recent days had ordered the postponement of the championship day scheduled for January 2, but the previous round had already been characterized by several postponements. Among the teams at stake is Dinamo, which currently has five positive players and who, after having missed the matches against Fortitudo Bologna and Trento, should go to Cremona next Sunday: but also the Lombards are struggling with various positivity. In A1 women the New Year’s match between Dinamo and Geas has been skipped, today two races will be played but also in this case we will proceed groping. In the meantime, the Fip Regional Governing Council has announced the postponement of all men’s and women’s competitions, of regional competence from 2 to 16 January. “In this postponement period – reads the note signed by President Tore Serra -, no friendly matches will be authorized”.
