Patson Daka and Enock Mwepu’s Redbull Salzburg is back on top of the Austrian Bundesliga log table after LASK Linz were docked six points for breaking strict social distancing rules in training.
This decision comes after a video surfaced showing LASK Linz players in full team training contrary to what the Bundesliga teams had agreed on.
The Senate 1 of the Football Bundesliga believes LASK had held at least four team training sessions contrary to the agreement of the Bundesliga teams – at a time when only small group training without physical contact was allowed.
