Junior Adamu
The European Championship qualifying trip to Finland did not go as planned for the ÖFB U21 team. There was also a corona incident with the police.
The ÖFB youngsters said goodbye to their peers from Scandivania with 1: 3. A major setback for the ambitions to be at the European Championship.
The ÖFB team clearly lacked the storm power of Salzburg-Striker Junior Adamu. The 20-year-old had already scored eight goals in qualifying and was officially absent due to an “illness”.
It should have been a medium-sized quarantine scandal, as insider Peter Linden reports in his blog. After three negative PCR tests, Adamu in Tampere, Finland gave a positive result. He had to be in hotel room quarantine.
Another test at the same institute then turned out negative. The ÖFB passed this on to UEFA, which apparently gave the green light for a mission.
But apparently the Finnish authorities threatened to have Adamu taken away by the police if he was in the stadium. The ÖFB gave in, so the striker had to go back to his hotel room.
