The challenge for this commission is to evaluate the elements that led to this situation and decide on a postponement of the match or on a victory for Lorient, without playing the match.
However, rescheduling this meeting seems quite simply impossible, with Lorient and Tours being unanimous on the issue. “If we are not able to organize the event today, how can we organize the rest”said Léo Schwechlen, the captain of Tours, lucidly on Saturday.
In Lorient either, the hypothesis of a postponement of the match did not seem to convince anyone. “We have very few options to schedule the meeting”we explained at the club. Having gone on vacation, the players will return to the coach on December 30 to prepare for the match against Laval on January 4, then the reception against Metz on the 11th. The round of 16 scheduled for Wednesday January 15, therefore arrives very quickly .
