Coronavirus sports news LIVE: Daniele Rugani tests positive for Covid-19, Inter suspend all football activity

Welcome to the Evening Standard's LIVE coverage of the latest disruption caused to sporting events by the coronavirus outbreak.

Italian football was hit on Wednesday evening as Juventus player Daniele Rugani tested positive for Covid-19. That test led Inter Milan to suspend all footballing activity, having played against Juve last weekend.

Manchester City's home game with Arsenal, scheduled for Wednesday evening, was postponed as a precautionary measure. A number of Arsenal players and staff met infected Olympiacos owner Evangelos Marinakis, who has contracted the virus, 13 days prior and must now enter self-isolation.

Elsewhere, Chelsea and Manchester United will play behind close doors in Europe this week, while members of staff from several F1 teams are self-isolating ahead of Sunday's opener in Melbourne.
