A viral outbreak in the Farense team led the club's SAD to request the postponement of the II Liga match against Desportivo de Chaves, scheduled for this week. Several players are showing symptoms of fever, diarrhea and vomiting, which has compromised the team's preparation for the match.
Thursday morning's training session was cancelled due to the health situation of the affected players. The extent of the outbreak was not specified in the article.
Farense's SAD formally submitted the postponement request to the competent authorities, citing public health reasons and the impossibility of fielding a team in adequate conditions to compete. The decision on the postponement now lies with the entities managing the competition.
This is not the first time a viral outbreak has affected football teams in Portugal this season, with other clubs having gone through similar situations that required the cancellation of sporting activities.
