Which Champions League and Europa League matches have been postponed?
Two Europa League matches have been called off this week. They are:
Inter vs Getafe
Sevilla vs Roma
Both were scheduled to be played behind closed doors but Getafe refused to fly to Milan under any circumstances, which left Uefa no choice but to cancel the game.
Meanwhile, Roma were denied permission to land in Seville by the Spanish authorities.
Wolves did ask for their game at Olympiacos on Thursday to be called off after the Greek club’s owner Evangelos Marinakis tested positive for coronavirus.
However, Uefa have ordered it to go ahead.
Basel have announced that their return match against Frankfurt next week will not be played in Switzerland, and will be called off if a new venue cannot be found.
Juventus have yet to announce whether their match against Lyon will be moved or played behind closed doors but with Italy on lockdown it is impossible to envisage it taking place with fans.
Juve have already been rebuffed in an approach to Malta’s FA to play the match there.
