UEFA set to propose coronavirus solution for Champions League that could affect Chelsea

UEFA postponed all their Champions League and Europa League games, due to Coronavirus outbreak. Now they will reportedly hold talks over how to ensure the tournaments can be finished this season. It’s being suggested that the competition will be held in one location and over a shorter time period, according to the Telegraph. The report suggests the idea to hold both the semi-finals and final over four days, with all games being played in Istanbul for the Champions League and Gdansk for the Europa League. The report also mentions the possibility of playing all ties over one leg instead of two this season. Chelsea are still in the Champions League. After their 3-0 defeat to Bayern Munich at Stamford Bridge in the last-16 stage tie, they were set to play a return leg this week. However, the game postponed. The UEFA summit will be done by a video conference with all 55 member associations taking part on Tuesday and moving Euro 2020 by a year until the summer of 2021 is also key to the rescheduling as it would enable domestic seasons to be played beyond May 30.
