Coronavirus thwarts North Macedonia's plans, release date to football list

Northern Macedonia's selector, Igor Angelovski, had decided to publish the list of football players invited to the match against Kosovo on Thursday (now).

But Angelovski has decided to postpone it for several days, following problems with Captain Goran Pandev's-19 problems, writes media in Macedonia.

Kosovo will play against Northern Macedonia, next Thursday, October 8th in Skopje, within the semi-final of the UN League's multi-offal for a country at “Euro 2020”, which is held next year.

Web site Ekipaı writes that Pandev is in quarantine and will be expected a second test for him to know his condition

“Macedonian national team captain Goran Pandev is still in quarantine with the club and is hosting the results of the second test for COVID-19. Only then can he leave the club quarantine. Ten of his teammates were tested positively for coronavirus after the match with Naples, and today's first tests confirmed that they have symptoms of COVID-19. Pandev, fortunately, has resulted negative, but must achieve another confirmation, a second negative sample, after which he will be able to leave isolation”, Ekipa writes.

Genoa hopes the match against Turin will be postponed, because despite positive cases, all others are isolated because they had contacts with other players.

Only after the second samples of the test, whose results will be known tomorrow, will you know what the outcome of the whole case will be, and Italian football league will make a decision.

There is also midfielder Elif Elmas, who played against Genoa, but in the first test he too has proved negative.

The match between Northern Macedonia and Kosovo is historic for both teams, which are two steps away from qualifying for the European Championship.
