All UEFA competitions, including Champions League and Europa League matches due to be played next week, have been postponed because of the COVID-19 outbreak.

The draws for the next rounds set for next Friday have also been postponed.

In the Champions League, Manchester City vs Real Madrid, Juventus vs Lyon, Barcelona vs Napoli and Bayern Munich vs Chelsea matches are all postponed.

Manchester United, Wolves and Rangers' matches in the Europa League are off.

All UEFA Youth League quarter-final matches scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday are also off.

UEFA says further decisions on the scheduling of the postponed fixtures will be communicated in due course.

European football's governing body has invited representatives from all 55 of its member associations to a meeting on Tuesday in order to discuss a response to the Covid-19 outbreak.

The scheduling of Euro 2020 will be discussed at the gathering.

According to the World Health Organization, more than 125,000 people have been diagnosed with Covid-19 in 118 countries around the world and there have been more than 4,600 deaths.
