Soccer Players Fear Virus

Zimbabwe soccer officials flew a second-string team to Harare, Zaire, while considering how to punish star players who failed to make the trip out of fear of the deadly Ebola virus.

Included among those balky firststringers was star goaltender Bruce Grobbelaar, who plays for the English premier league team Southampton.

Alexi Lalas will skip the opening match of U.S. Cup ‘95 to play with his Italian first division club.
