The tests took place in the perspective of a friendly match against the Chamalières team which was to take place this Friday and which was canceled.

Currently second in the standings, and serious candidate for the rise in Ligue 1, the Auvergne club hopes to be able to count on most of its workforce during the reception of Amiens on Saturday, March 13 and not to suffer sportingly from the situation.

The Coupe de France is timely

"We are lucky that the coming weekend is devoted to the Coupe de France", a competition from which the Clermont were eliminated last January by Grenoble Foot 38 in the eighth round, specifies an internal source at the club.

The medical protocol adopted in early September by the League provides that the postponement of a meeting is considered if one of the two teams cannot present at least twenty players tested negative on an initial list of thirty.
