MARSEILLE, France: Three new cases of suspected coronavirus were revealed by French football giants Marseille on Sunday , just five days before they are due to kick-off the new Ligue 1 season.

Under health protocols adopted in recent weeks which are awaiting final approval, the four cases could mean Marseille's scheduled opener against St Etienne on Friday may be called off.AdvertisementThe vast majority of them contracted the virus after resuming training in June, leading to quarantine and a flurry of cancelled pre-season matches.

On the other hand, Lille , Saint-Etienne , Montpellier , Nantes and Strasbourg have all seen their pre-season affected."When the players become negative again, we will be able to use them. But in what state, I do not know," said Strasbourg coach Thierry Laurey. "We are afraid of being in the situation where for three months we had the car in the garage without being able to take it out, and when we finally can get back on the road there is a risk of it breaking down."
