WARRINGTON Wolves' game in Perpignan against Catalans Dragons on Monday is still being planned to go ahead, though the French club have said confirmation will be delayed until tomorrow.
There is a slight change to the kick-off time as it is now slated for 6.30pm (5.30pm UK).
The contest had been placed in doubt by the return of seven positive Covid-19 tests in the Catalans camp - five of them players - and then the French Government yesterday announcing a 9pm to 6am curfew for the area.
With the game due to end shortly after 8pm, The Wire would need a quick getaway.
A Catalans statement reads: "Following government announcements and the limitation of the maximum audience reception capacity to 1,000 people, the club had to make decisions regarding the organization of matches at the Gilbert Brutus stadium.
"First of all, the establishment of a curfew at 9 p.m. obliges us to advance the kick-off of the match against Warrington on Monday October 26 at 6.30 p.m., provided that this meeting takes place. A decision will be taken tomorrow at the end of the day."
