Meppen (dpa / lni) - After three game cancellations and a compulsory break of several weeks, SV Meppen is back in the 3rd soccer league for the first time this Tuesday.
The away opponent is then the second division relegated SV Wehen Wiesbaden (7 p.m. / MagentaSport).
After several positive corona tests, the entire Meppen team and their coaching team had to be quarantined for two weeks at the beginning of the month.
The Emslanders have only been allowed to train again since last Wednesday.
"The problem with us is not the 14-day quarantine break, but rather that some players had moderate to severe symptoms," said coach Torsten Frings.
“We tried everything to get the boys back into the best possible condition through sensible training control.
Despite all the difficulties, we want to fully oppose it and score points in Wiesbaden. "
Specifically, this meant that Frings initially only trained his team in small groups of three to four players last week.
The former Werder Bremen international increased the workload at the weekend.
According to the club, players have also had regular medical examinations since Monday.
