Tonight’s UEFA Champions League game between Drita and Linfield has been postponed following a decision taken by the Swiss authorities in conjunction with UEFA.
The decision follows confirmation that a second Drita player has tested positive for Covid 19.
The matter is being referred to the UEFA’s control and disciplinary body for a decision to be taken in accordance with Annex I of the 2020/21 UEFA champions league regulations which were approved by the UEFA executive committee last week.
UEFA have advised that this reinforces the importance for all teams, players, officials and all involved in fully respecting the UEFA return to play protocols.
The Linfield team was advised of the decision on boarding the coach to travel to the game and instead of travelling to play the game have instead travelled to the stadium for a training session.
