Which Champions League and Europa League matches have been postponed?

No Champions League matches and Europa League matches have been postponed as yet.

Wolves have asked for their game at Olympiacos on Thursday to be called off after the Greek club’s owner Evangelos Marinakis tested positive for coronavirus.

Basel have also 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.
