Andy Delort was named as the seventh Montpellier player to contract COVID-19 AFP/GERARD JULIENPARIS: Ligue 1 returns on Friday with the threat of the coronavirus looming large over the start of a 2020-21 season that will get underway with a reduced line-up of matches.
The league's five-year contract with Spain's Mediapro gives the 20 clubs 1.153 billion euros each season, a welcome boost to the coffers after last season was suspended in March and then curtailed while Europe's other big leagues restarted and finished their campaigns. Meanwhile more than half of the top division's clubs have recorded cases of the disease -- totalling some 40 players -- jeopardising their preparation and causing the cancellation of many pre-season friendlies.
Players will be tested two to three days before each match and a game should be postponed as soon as four cases are found at the same club within an eight-day period. This is precisely what happened to Marseille and could happen to Nimes.
