Tottenham and Chelsea facing European Stadium Closures amid Coronavirus fears

The total number of confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK is now 273, a rise of 67, the biggest in a 24-hour period. Germany had 902 confirmed cases on Sunday afternoon, far short of Italy’s tally of almost 6,000, but that included a large cluster of 392 in one municipality in western Germany. We have already seen the impact of the coronavirus on football. In England, players have been banned from shaking hands, Serie A games were postponed. German health minister Jens Spahn took to twitter to call for events with over 1000 spectators to be cancelled immediately. Bundesliga games are now at risk of being impacted, but that could also have a huge impact on Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Rangers. All of them are set to travel to Germany for European ties in the coming weeks. Spurs will travel to RB Leipzig on Tuesday, before Chelsea meet ​Bayern Munich on Wednesday 18 March. Finally, Rangers will also travel to Germany to face Bayer Leverkusen on 19 March. However, if Spahn's call is put into action, fans may not be able to travel to those games.
