Newsroom March 12 03:06

UEFA are set to announced that both the Champions League and Europa League are suspended with immediate effect.

The coronavirus outbreak paralysing the continent is to bring a halt to both premier club competitions.

Confirmation of the news is expected imminently and the suspension of fixtures, according to Marca, includes tonight’s encounter between Olympiakos and Wolves for the Europa League.
