Getafe president Angel Torres unhappy Inter Milan clash to go ahead

Getafe president Angel Torres is unhappy his squad is playing in Italy for their Europa League second-leg clash.

The situation is undecided, as the Spanish Government announced all direct flights from Italy to Spain were banned until March 25.

“The Government made this decree, which seems wise to us, so we'll see what the Italian Government has to say," Torres told reporters.

“If they confirm the same, then we won't be able to travel to Milan, so the game should be annulled or postponed.

“There is no definitive answer yet, UEFA haven't given us any firm indication, we're in contact and a decision has to be made today.

“We're not afraid, merely showing a sense of responsibility and caution. The virus is in Madrid too, so it's not like we need to go to Italy for that."
