IWEDFM Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 The conmebol over here are even worse. They are forcing River Plate to fulfill a Copa Libertadores fixture tonight despite having 20 players unavailable through covid. River have NO goalkeeper available either as a result so Enzo Perez who by trade is a midfielder is looking increasingly likely to go in goal River put in a request yesterday to register one of their reserve keepers but Conmebol refused claiming River were allowed to register up to 50 players but only listed 33 You could argue Conmebol have a point but considering we're in the middle of a pandemic you would expect common sense to prevail and either postpone the fixture or allow River an emergency keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why shouldn’t it? They literally increased the squad size to 50 in the event of this scenario and the River coach laughed in the face of it and only registered his normal squad. CONMEBOL are right to uphold their decision on the basis that it’s not their fault that River didn’t register the full amount of people from their reserves and youth teams that they were given the opportunity to do.
