Xavier is supposed to return tomorrow after a Covid pause of 17 days. I say supposed to because there are no guarantees right now. I say Covid pause because a phrase that would have sounded like nonsense to our ears just two years ago is now part of the vernacular. As of now the game is, blessedly, still scheduled to be played.
This isn’t the first time that X has missed time because of Covid, but the circumstances are not the same this time. The first Covid pause, as it were, was the end of the 2019-20 season.
