Olunga and Kashiwa Reysol’s J-League Cup tie against Tokyo FC postponed

Kenya international Michael Olunga and Kashiwa Reysol colleagues will not be in action on November 7 as the J-League Cup tie against Tokyo FC has been postponed.

The tie has been pushed to a date that is yet to be made public after three members of the Kashiwa Reysol side tested positive for the coronavirus. Olunga’s coach Nelsinho Baptista is the only person who is confirmed to have contracted the novel virus whereas the identities of the other team members have not been confirmed.

The positive tests at Olunga’s camp were announced on Tuesday and consequently, a J-1 League encounter between them and Vegalta Sendai had to be rescheduled.
