Corona victim Kelvin Yeboah had to stay in Spain

Sturm Graz sports director Andreas Schicker takes off his hat to the team after the 1-1 draw in the Europa League at Real Sociedad. Corona victim Kelvin Yeboah had to stay in Spain. At least we breathed a sigh of relief after yesterday’s tests.

Sturm’s sports director Andreas Schicker was delighted after the 1: 1 fought tooth and nail, the first Europa League point in the cauldron of Spain’s leaders Real Sociedad: “I take off my hat! The whole day was very difficult for the players. But you saw that the team has an outstanding cohesion. The situation wasn’t easy for us. In addition to the many defeats, there was also the Covid story of Kelvin Yeboah. To get a point at Real Sociedad in such a difficult phase makes me proud. “

Was that the hoped-for escape from the mini-crisis? “If we win in Altach on Sunday, I’ll say yes.”

Yesterday, for safety reasons, Sturm chartered an additional plane to Altach just for the team because of the Covid alarm: “The situation is tense because we were in contact with the positives (Gazibegovic, Yeboah) a lot.” Fortunately, yesterday’s tests were with all negative.

Stankovic is back in Altach, but Yeboah has to stay in Spain: “Basically, he will have to be in quarantine for ten days.” Yeboah’s management will therefore fly to San Sebastian in order to be able to look after the striker in the best possible way.
