Arsenal said players will be isolated for 14 days after coming into contact with the owner of Greek club Olympiakos, who has tested positive for COVID-19. In Asia, football has been suspended in China, South Korea and Japan, and the AFC Champions League schedule heavily disrupted. Manchester City said the postponement was a “precautionary measure” and that information about rescheduling would be available in the coming days. The postponement could also frustrate Premier League leaders Liverpool as a Manchester City defeat would have taken them to the brink of their first top-flight title in 30 years. Olympiakos’s home Europa League last-16, first-leg game against Wolverhampton Wanderers in Athens has already been ordered behind closed doors.
