Frankfurt / Main (dpa) - Eintracht Frankfurt coach Adi Hütter expects the Europa League to be canceled due to the corona crisis. "I'm rather skeptical whether you can finish the current season in the Europa League," said the 50-year-old Austrian of the "Bild" newspaper.
The competition was interrupted by UEFA indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic like the Champions League in the round of 16. In a video conference with the 55 member associations this Wednesday, the European Football Union wants to discuss whether and how the international season can still be concluded.
Should there be a continuation, Eintracht would face the end. The Hessian Bundesliga team had lost the first leg in the round of 16 against FC Basel in front of empty ranks in the home stadium with 0: 3. "If it is the case that the game is played, we will do everything we can to make the almost impossible possible," said Hütter. In addition to Eintracht, league rivals Bayer Leverkusen and VfL Wolfsburg are also represented in the competition.
