It was revealed by the director Marino. In May, the company announced the vaccination of the entire team. Now you check tightly
UDINE. In the days when the green pass also holds the bench among the fans, now certain to present themselves in the future with the vaccine certification to access stadiums and arenas, Udinese announces three “no vax” players in their ranks, destined not only to stricter daily checks, but also to keep a maximum alert on the Covid front.
The news was given yesterday by Juventus director Pierpaolo Marino, who admitted to Radio Sportiva the presence of a problem shared with other clubs, since a recent survey showed that 10% of Serie A members have not been vaccinated. (on average there are two, three elements per club), while the remaining 90% have already received at least one dose.
All this, in contrast with the English Premier League which just yesterday imposed the vaccination obligation with two doses by 1 October, to all players and members who want to be part of the 2021/22 championship.
«At Udinese we have three no vax players, the team doctor knows the exact number, and we do swabs for them every day. To the other two, three times a week. In May, our members were vaccinated with the first dose ». This was Marino’s speech yesterday, without having mentioned the names of the no vaxes, in full respect of privacy.
Even Udinese, therefore, is not exempt from the “no vax” members, and this although in May it was the same company that gave the news of the vaccination to which the entire team group (members and staff) was subjected, returning from the debacle of San Siro with Inter, on the last day.
Then, the bianconeri showed up at the vaccination hub set up in the Curva Nord area of the Friuli stadium and there they received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
The news was then picked up by many media, as Udinese was the first Italian club to have vaccinated their players and their staff.
“It is a sign of restart that will allow us to start next season with greater serenity”, then commented the dg Franco Collavino, while today that serenity seems instead to have given way to concern, as Spezia knows well, struggling with 14 infected. and a cluster started by two unvaccinated non-players.
Then they know something about Udinese, given that even last season Covid raged during the year with various cases, then revealed on November 29 by Marino, a few minutes before the match won in Rome with Lazio. In short, the long shadow of Covid that is reappearing on Serie A is worrying and that is why the FIGC is urging the Leagues and Aic to raise awareness among their members, also defining a new protocol.
The Federation has also developed a service in order to facilitate the vaccination process to which Milan, Fiorentina, Empoli and Bologna have so far adhered, but we remember that the Lega Serie A has left full autonomy to the clubs regarding the vaccination process.
