Football under threat from coronavirus: Newcastle United bans players from shaking hands as string of Italian matches are held behind closed doors

A Premier League team has banned players from shaking hands and matches could be played in empty stadiums as coronavirus threatens to disrupt British football for the rest of the season, it was revealed today.

Millions of supporters travel the length of the UK to follow their team but some are expected to wear masks at matches this weekend or choose may not to travel as the number of cases grew to 19 today - including six in the past 24 hours.

Newcastle United has a daily tradition where players and staff greet one another with a handshake every morning but manager Steve Bruce admitted today: 'We've stopped that on the advice of the doctor'.

And as Switzerland today banned all events involving more than 1,000 people, Mr Bruce said: 'We're glued to the TV and let us hope it doesn't get any worse in this country.'

Today Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted he is 'worried' about being drawn against Inter Milan in the Europa League - after the northern Italian team found itself on the edge of the country's coronavirus crisis zone.

Inter played their match in an empty San Siro stadium last night to avoid up to 80,000 supporters turning up and spreading the illness that has claimed 2,550 lives worldwide so far - including 17 in Italy in a week.

Oga oo

This Corona Virus Bad!!!

How players go take Celebrate after Scoring Goal!

It's time for man's immune system to evolve and stand up to the challenges the environment today is throwing at it.


Humans are made for this world, it's too late to be unable to survive or adapt.

This is getting really serious and out of hand

Nawa oo

Humans can create viruses in laboratories just to cause global epidemic.

Nobody wan die but them wan go heaven..


Corona virus

Anything Coro won do ,make e do
I am no longer a slave to fear
Who remembers ebola? I received over 20 calls for me to use salt to bath one particular day like that
Just keep calm... Malaria kills more than 3,000 people a day in Africa, and no one is saying anything about it.
Just keep calm, and say no to fear.

in another note, If you have a business website
Rank it fast on Google and start getting traffic
chat up

Well, I can imagine these stars playing in an empty field.

It is getting serious now...it now that people know that there is problem coming.. So we need to avoid it by all means

The world is entire in Shambles

New Year, New Disease in a New Decade

Thank God say Aunty Corona no dey look face.

The people that will die from anxiety because of news of this virus will be more than people who will die from actually contacting the virus.

Football will go on break soon due to this virus threat

The world soon will stand still.
What baffles me is , why is it China the virus hit first.
There are lot of other nations that eats anything.
If the virus started in a country like Serbia or Taiwan , would it have spread like this.
I am of the notion that some world power is doing a litmus test with China and the rest of the world.
I predict that America will soon have a vaccine for it and the virus won't spread much in Nigeria.
