Ajax will not be punished for violating the UEFA corona protocol, the Danish reports TV3 Wednesday evening. The club is said to have sent André Onana, Dusan Tadic, Ryan Gravenberch and Zakaria Labyad to Denmark on a scheduled flight from KLM for the duel with FC Midtjylland (1-2 victory) on 3 November, something strongly against UEFA rules. violates.

UEFA spokesman Thomas Giordano late TV3 know that the German Roland Zimmermann, the relevant UEFA representative for the match, “did not identify” the incident in his official report. Because the UEFA disciplinary committee will only prosecute if notes are made about an incident in the official reports, Ajax remains out of harm’s way. Had the incident been assessed, a fine would have been the most likely outcome.

In the run-up to the away match against FC Midtjylland, no fewer than eleven players from the first team and the reserves were tested positive for the corona virus. As a result, Tadic, Davy Klaassen, Onana, Stekelenburg, Labyad and Gravenberch were initially unable to travel with the Ajax-chartered TUI plane that brought the selection to Karup in Denmark on Monday afternoon. The Danish authorities have a strict corona policy, as travelers must be able to provide a negative corona test of up to 72 hours old to enter the country.

The team from Amsterdam managed to get Onana, Tadic, Labyad and Gravenberch on Monday evening, less than 24 hours before the game, with permission to Denmark. The problem, however, was that the foursome arrived in Billund on a KLM flight. UEFA has strict rules to allow clubs to travel through Europe at the moment. For that reason, it is normally a requirement of the European Football Association that players travel to international away games by private plane, as Klaassen and Stekelenburg did on the day of the game.
