Bayern-Atlético will finally be held tonight (21.00 Movistar Champions League).
This has been decided by UEFA and the Bavarian health authorities, on alert after Serge Gnabry's positive was known on Tuesday afternoon.
The squad of the reigning European champions passed new tests on Wednesday morning and no more positives were recorded,
a UEFA member
informed the daily
Bild
.
After three in the afternoon, Atlético also assured that the match will be played as they have not received information to the contrary either in the meeting held with UEFA and Bayern during the morning, or later.
The fact that Gnabry trained with the rest of his teammates before knowing his positive generated great concern and kept the dispute of the match in the air.
The images from the session revealed how Gnabry had close contact with his teammates during the exercises and in one of them he was seen hugging David Alaba.
UEFA's health protocol states that “if one or more players or members of a club test positive, the match will continue unless the health authorities of the country or the corresponding city make the decision that a group of players or the club go into quarantine ”.
Had the clash been suspended, it would have been the first time that a Champions League match could not have been played due to a coronavirus contagion.
Last March, in the midst of the explosion of the first wave, UEFA postponed as a precaution four matches of the second leg of the round of 16 (Barcelona-Naples, Manchester City-Real Madrid, Juventus-Lyon and Bayern-Chelsea) and ended scheduling a final to eight in Lisbon.
