UEFA Postpones Man City Vs Real Madrid, Juventus Vs Lyon Matches Over Coronavirus

By Daily Sports on March 13, 2020

Manchester City’s Champions League last 16, second leg with Real Madrid and Lyon’s trip to Juventus became the latest high-profile football matches to be postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak, UEFA confirmed on Thursday.

Juventus defender Daniele Rugani has tested positive for the virus, forcing players and staff of the Italian champions into quarantine.

Madrid players have also been put into isolation after one of the club’s basketball players tested positive for COVID-19.

Both matches were due to take place on Tuesday, March 17.

As it stands, Wednesday’s two last 16, second legs between Bayern Munich and Chelsea and Barcelona and Napoli are still set to go ahead behind closed doors.

However, UEFA is to have a crisis meeting on Tuesday with representatives from all 55 national associations and club and player bodies to decide how national leagues, European competitions and Euro 2020 should proceed.

“The decision to postpone Tuesday’s game was made in conjunction with UEFA and follows confirmation that players from Real Madrid will self-isolate for fifteen days,” City said in a statement.

“The Club sends its best wishes to the players and staff at Real Madrid’s football and basketball teams.” (AFP)
