ANKARA (AA) - UEFA have postponed Thursday's Europa League match between Spanish club Villarreal and Azerbaijan's Qarabag over multiple coronavirus cases.

Villarreal on Tuesday said on its website that Qarabag failed to have a minimum number of players for the Group I match in Estadio de la Ceramica as the visitors had many COVID-19 cases in their squad.

The Spanish club added that the UEFA will talk to both clubs to find a solution.
