Real go into quarantine
La Liga suspended
Real Madrid went into quarantine on Thursday as La Liga announced Spain's top two divisions will be suspended for at least two weeks over the coronavirus.
La Liga authorities made the decision after Real Madrid confirmed its senior football team is in quarantine after one of the club's basketball players tested positive for the virus.
A club statement read: "A player from our basketball first team has tested positive for the COVID-19 coronavirus. "Since then, recommendations were made to quarantine both the basketball and football first team, given that the two squads share facilities in Ciudad Real Madrid.
La Liga has also followed Italy's Serie A in suspending its matches, after a meeting on Thursday with the Spanish Football Federation and the Spanish Players Union (AFE).
It was decided on Tuesday that games in Spain's top two divisions would be held behind closed doors but those over the next 14 days will now be suspended.
UEFA also called a meeting last night to discuss suspending the Champions League and Europa League.
