Madrid - The Seville club Betis, currently playing in the second category of Spanish football, asked Thursday for a postponement of their next match because 13 of their players are down with the new H1N1 influenza virus, or swine flu, Spanish media reported Thursday.
Since other footballers are suffering from injuries more common to the sport, Betis would only be able to draw on seven players from their first team for Sunday's home match against Villarreal B.
The club said in its website that training had been cancelled for the rest of the week.
