🤒 Huesca ask to postpone match against Real Sociedad B due to virus | OneFootball

SD Huesca has formally requested the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to suspend the match they were scheduled to play this Saturday against Real Sociedad B, corresponding to matchday 10 of LALIGA Hypermotion, the Spanish Second Division. The reason is a serious outbreak of a gastrointestinal virus that has affected almost the entire squad.

The club from Huesca has confirmed the submission of the request, arguing that the situation prevents them from having the minimum number of available players required to compete. After evaluation by their medical staff, it has been determined that it is impossible to face the match with the necessary health and competitive guarantees.

The request is based on article 262.3 of the RFEF General Regulations, which allows for the suspension of matches due to indisputable force majeure causes, such as a viral epidemic that incapacitates almost all players. The club now awaits the federation’s decision to confirm the postponement.

This force majeure situation also affects the fans. Huesca reported that the coaches heading to San Sebastián, to accompany the team in their Second Division clash, have delayed their departure while awaiting a final decision regarding the match against Real Sociedad.

The RFEF must make an immediate decision regarding the postponement in order to reschedule the match between Real Sociedad’s reserve team and Huesca. The virus has disrupted the sporting plans of the Aragonese side and has put the Second Division competition on alert.
