Getafe president Angel Torres cancels squad flight for Inter Milan clash

Getafe president Angel Torres has announced the squad won't be traveling to Italy for Thursday's Europa League second-leg clash at Inter Milan.

Due to coronavirus concerns, all football has been suspended in Italy until April 3, while the Spanish Players' Association are calling for a similar block there.

As such, Torres has ruled out Getafe flying to Italy.

“Unless quite a lot changes tomorrow, Getafe will not be flying to Italy," Torres told Onda Cero.

“We have asked UEFA to consider an alternative to playing in Milan. We have asked for help from the Spanish FA too."
