According to the LFP, Niort was "unable to provide the medical monitoring certificates from his sports delegation for the match in question".
According to the health protocol of the League, clubs must provide before each match a certificate certifying that each member of their delegation selected for the match has tested negative for coronavirus two to three days before the match and does not present symptoms of the disease.
Without this document, the League can decide a postponement of the match or a green carpet loss for the offending club.
If a club has fewer than 20 players including a goalkeeper on a list of 30 communicated to the League, the match is postponed according to the same protocol.
