In Italy, Europe’s most affected country, the government have placed more than 16 million people under quarantine and suspended all sporting activities in the country including the serie A, due to the pandemic virus.
Warriors defender, Tendayi Darikwa who is recovering from a long-term injury, is also believed to have attended the Millwall game last Friday.
Meanwhile, Marinakis, who also owns Olympiakos will not be able to attend matches for two weeks due to the government’s advice to self-isolate for at least two weeks.
