Serie A requests matches be played behind closed doors as coronavirus kills seventh in Italy

Serie A

PA Images | Inter have announced that, in accordance with requirements from the local health authorities, their Europa League second tie against Bulgarian club Ludogorets on Thursday will be played without fans in attendance.

Four Serie A matches were postponed this weekend and Inter's Europa League match on Thursday against Ludogorets will be played behind closed doors.

With the Euro 2020 coming up, however, there is little room in the calendar to change the schedule.

Italy's economy is likely to be thrown into another recession as a result of the outbreak.
