Positive for the swab, but the federation will make the decision this morning A first check had tested positive in four. Sorrentino has signed

PAVIA

Gennaro Sorrentino signs for Riso Scotti and should be on the pitch tonight in Varese (ball two at 20.30) against Robur et Fides.

But the game could still be canceled. The decision will be taken this morning – yesterday evening it was rumored that the measure will be taken immediately after 9 – by the federation. The team from Pavia had initially asked Federbasket to be able to postpone the first return to the Varese Campus (Thursday) as four players, three of whom from the starting five, had tested positive for the molecular swab, to which two people were also added among technical and managerial staff. But yesterday evening the results of new buffers reached the company: the team group’s positives went from four to seven.

A new request has been triggered. A few hours earlier – with only 4 positives -, the Federation had rejected Riso Scotti’s request, forcing her to take the field against Varese. This decision will be resumed today.

the no of the federation

«The Basketball Federation had rejected our request – explains the team manager Alberto Rai – the Covid rules require that at least five players are positive, therefore, with seven out of the game today the postponement should be triggered. We are in an emergency, like many other teams from the various leagues ».

Pavia would risk having to take the field with a team filled with young people with double membership Here You Can and Riso Scotti.

«Seven players is an unacceptable number. There were already four – underlines Rai – among other things distributed in the various roles, which puts us doubly in difficulty, as we find ourselves with some of the athletes who in the last match had particularly shone out because they had positive results ».

Double bad luck, because two important young people from Robur et Fides such as Librizzi and Virgilio, who should have played with Varese in Reggio Emilia, will be there as there are five positivity in the team coached by Attilio Caja from Pavia and the A1 match has been postponed.

«Robur is also in good shape – underlines Rai – on Wednesday he scored 90 in Omegna and even risked winning. Sorry not to be able to play against them with the full team ».

Yesterday evening, among other things, Riso Scotti signed Gennaro Sorrentino. “Sorrentino appeared in good physical condition – adds the Riso Scotti team manager -, given the difficult situation in which we find ourselves, he will immediately have an important space in the first useful game, which we hope will not be today’s”. –
