No action over swine flu: Platini

Friday, November 06, 2009
BRUSSELS: European football chief Michel Platini said Thursday he would not take measures that would force players involved in European competition to be vaccinated against swine flu, or the H1N1 virus.

And the former France and Juventus midfield legend added that UEFA would not postpone any Champions League or Europa League matches in the event several players in a team had contracted the virus.

UEFA chief Platini, speaking on the fringes of a visit to the European Parliament, said he would not force any players to have vaccinations in order to safeguard fixtures in the Champions League and Europa League. "I'm not a doctor, this is a subject that only the (medical) specialists can advise on," said Platini.

Platini added: "There can be up to 30 players in the squads of teams and so they should have enough players.

"If some players are sidelined because they have the (swine) flu, it doesn't justify postponing the whole match."
