Covid-19 is once again a major factor in possible rescheduling.
Atletico Madrid are considering looking for an alternative venue where they would host Chelsea in the first tie of the Champions League Round of 16.
According to Spanish news outlet AS, a lot will depend on the Covid-19 situation in Spain.
At the moment, the country bans travel from the UK – if this measure is still in place on February 23, the game can’t take place in Madrid.
In a similar situation, RB Leipzig will be looking for another stadium after Germany banned Liverpool from entering the country.
In such cases, it is the home side’s responsibility to arrange an alternative venue.
Earlier, two Atletico Madrid forwards tested positive for Covid-19, but the game is almost three weeks away which should be enough for them to recover.
