A South Korean professional football match scheduled for Saturday has been postponed after a player tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

선수 1명이 코로나19 양성 판정을 받자 토요일로 예정된 한국 프로축구 경기가 연기됐다.



The Korea Professional Football League (K League) announced Friday that one player for Gangwon FC has been diagnosed with COVID-19. That forced the K League 1 match between Gangwon and Incheon United, scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday, to be postponed.

한국프로축구연맹(K리그)은 강원FC 소속 선수 1명이 코로나19 양성 판정을 받았다고 금요일 밝혔다. 이로 인해 토요일 오후 6시로 예정된 K리그1 강원 대 인천 유나이티드의 경기가 연기될 예정이다.



The league has not yet determined when the match will be made up.

경기 개최 일시는 아직 확정되지 않은 상태다.



The K League added that contact tracing for the rest of Gangwon FC has not yet taken place but it was "possible that many players have been in close contact with their infected teammate."

K리그는 강원FC의 나머지 선수들에 대한 접촉자 추적조사는 아직 이뤄지지 않았지만 "상당수 인원이 확진된 선수와 밀접 접촉을 했을 가능성"이 있다고 덧붙였다.



The K League has already had to reschedule several matches this year due to COVID-19 infections. In July, four clubs ― Seongnam FC, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, Daegu FC and Jeju United ― reported multiple cases from their players and coaches. Eight matches involving those clubs were moved from July to August.

올해 K리그는 코로나19로 인해 이미 많은 경기 일정을 조정해야 했다. 지난 7월 성남FC, 전북현대 모터스, 대구FC, 제주 유나이티드 등 4개 구단에서 많은 확진자가 발생했다. 이 팀들의 8경기는 7월에서 8월로 연기됐다.



In May, a positive test for an FC Seoul player led to rescheduling of eight matches.

지난 5월에는 FC서울 선수의 양성 판정으로 8경기 일정이 조정됐다.



Clubs have played between 22 and 24 matches so far in the 38-match season. (Yonhap)

구단들은 현재까지 38경기 시즌 동안 22~24경기를 소화했다.
