Bulgarian FA have stopped selling tickets (temporarily) for the
Nations League semi final play off between Bulgaria v Hungary,
due to be played on March 26th. I have a press ticket for the
game so will need to keep an eye on that!

Game now behind closed doors and the federation have issued the
handshake ban domestically with immediate effect. Not sure how
the behind closed doors affects accredited press, we are
awaiting confirmation as to whether we will be allowed to attend
still or not.

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis - who was at the
home game on Friday - has announced that he has the Coronavirus.

He met the squad, loads of selfies taken with fans along with
hundreds of handshakes. Also owns Olympiakos, spends plenty of
time with them. They play Wolves on Thursday. He was hugging and
kissing players after the game v Arsenal so appears to be an
affectionate type of guy & was possibly already infected at the
time. Not trying to add to the 'scare mongering' going on but
he's ripe to unwittingly have been a super spreader :-\
Be interesting to see how Nottingham Forest/the FA/UEFA deal
with this one.

I was able to read this much:

coronavirus
Evangelos Marinakis, who is also the owner of Nottingham Forest
and was at their match last week, confirmed the news on
Instagram

Wolves in talks with Uefa over postponing Europa League tie with
Olympiakos after chairman contracts coronavirus
Wolves are in talks with Uefa over a potential postponement of
their Europa League tie with Olympiakos, after the Greek club's
chairman Evangelos Marinakis revealed he has contracted
coronavirus.
Officials from Wolves are growing increasingly concerned over
the risk factor involved in travelling for Thursday's game, with
the tie already to be played behind closed doors.
Marinakis, who is also the owner of Nottingham Forest, posted on
Instagram that he has coronavirus and it is understood
Olympiakos's players and coaching staff are also to undergo
tests to discover if they have also picked it up.
Wolves are in dialogue with Uefa and asking if the game can be
postponed, with a decision likely to be made in the next 24
hours. Wolves staff and players are set to fly out to Athens on
Wednesday afternoon....

What are the implications of Arsenal players self-isolating?
They've played two games since the Europa League. Will it affect
Portsmouth/West Ham and their opponents? What about the match
officials?
