SC Freiburg will have to do without Christian Streich for the time being: the head coach tested positive for Covid-19.

A spokesman for SC Freiburg confirmed to SWR Sport on Wednesday that Christian Streich had a positive corona test and had to stay in isolation for the time being. It is therefore clear that the 57-year-old will not sit on the Breisgauer bench in the Europa League game against FC Nantes (Thursday, 9 p.m.). Streich is also likely to miss the upcoming Bundesliga game against Hertha BSC (Sunday, 5:30 p.m.).

The SCF had won the first two group games of the Europa League against Qarabag Agdam (2-1) and Olympiakos Piraeus (3-0) - another win against Nantes would mean a huge step towards the knockout stages.
