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.
