The quarter-final second leg of the Champions League of the defending champions of Olympique Lyon, originally scheduled for Wednesday, 6.30 p.m., has been postponed due to six corona cases in the team.

The European Football Union (Uefa) approved a request from the German national player Dzsenifer Marozsán's club to postpone the game against Paris Saint-Germain.

A new date has not yet been set.

Four players tested positive on Monday after two cases had occurred at the end of last week.

According to the club, there was an instruction from the regional health authority to isolate the entire women's team.

Lyon had won the first leg in Paris 1-0.

The PSG women had recently also been plagued by corona concerns.

The team around Marozsán's national team colleague Sara Däbritz could not play their second leg in the round of 16 at Sparta Prague on March 17th due to a quarantine.

The game was rated 3-0 in favor of Prague on the green table.

PSG got on because of the 5-0 first leg.

In the other quarter-final second legs, VfL Wolfsburg will meet FC Chelsea, Manchester City will host FC Barcelona and the women of FC Bayern Munich will travel to the Swedish representative FC Rosengård.
