Coronavirus: What we know so far

The postponement of Euro 2020 may already have been decided after Uefa cancelled its hotel bookings for Copenhagen, which is one of the host cities.

The DGI-Byen Hotel in the Danish capital informed Reuters over the phone that Uefa had cancelled its rooms a little over a week ago.

While the Marinelyst, which is usually the team base for the Danish national team, said in an e-mail that Uefa had cancelled the rooms booked on behalf of Age Hareideside.

Uefa is meeting with its member federations on Tuesday, where a postponement of Euro 2020 to 2021 is expected following the widespread suspension of Europe's domestic leagues due to the coronavirus.

The pandemic has caused havoc to the football season, with the only leagues playing last weekend in Russia, Turkey, Hungary, Serbia and Ukraine.
