The UK government recently added Turkey to its Covid-19 "red list" of countries that should only be visited "in the most extreme circumstances". It is understood a decision may hinge on whether Uefa permits the Champions League final to go ahead in Istanbul. A decision on whether that game between Chelsea and Manchester City on 29 May will be played in Turkey is scheduled to be made by Wednesday. The UK government has proposed hosting the game in the UK as an alternative, with Wembley the likely alternative venue.
