So Rostov who are 4th in the premier league have a few players who tested positive for Corona. Their entire first team squad, reserves and staff had to go into quarantine.
The league basically said sort it out between you and their opponents, Sochi refused to rearrange the game. At 3 days notice Rostov had to scrape together an under 18 side who hadn't trained for 3 months, fly to Sochi and then fielded a side who had the lowest ever average age for a major top flight European game. Their manager (also in quarantine) said he had no idea who was actually travelling to the game.
Still the Russian league let the game go ahead and to no real surprise, Sochi won 10-1.
And we think the EFL are useless!
