will they put Bratislava through after the game against Klaksvik being called off twice?

It was someone from Bratislava that tested positive with covid but it appeared that the local authority worked against UEFA in relation to quarantining all Bratislava's players who UEFA had cleared because they repeatedly tested negative. It depends therefore if UEFA decide them to have been unreasonable with quarantining players they themselves had deemed fit or if they hold Bratislava responsible due to the physio testing positive with covid in the first place.

It appears the local authorities claim that one of the reserve squad who arrived yesterday also tested positive and have now quarantined a 2nd plane load of Slovaks. Bratislava are disputing it saying he tested negative prior to flying.

UEFA yet to make a decision but it is likely to be that Klaksvik are awarded a 3-0 win and will go into the next round.
