Coronavirus may cause the remaining leagues to shut down

Devam 8L 


Over the last few weeks the amount of people tested positive for COVID-19 has been massively increasing. Football has also been affected across many leagues. The following leagues have currently been suspended: La Liga, MlS and Serie A. 


Serie A was suspended due to the lockdown imposed in Italy who are the worst affected country in Europe. After the departure of Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League many other games in the round of 16 have also been postponed, including Manchester City vs Real Madrid, due to Real Madrid being quarantined.  


Over the last few days many famous footballers have tested positive. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, Juventus players Daniele Rugani and Paulo Dybala and Chelsea star winger Callum Hudson-Odoi have all been tested positive. 


So far Liverpool have had an exceptional season in the Premier League. They now only require 2 wins to secure the prestigious Premier League trophy. Will they manage to do this or will the virus stop them in their tracks?


It was announced later in the day of this report being written (13th March) that the Premier League is to be suspended.
