"If we are eliminated because of that, so be it," Torres told Spanish radio station Onda Cero late Tuesday. "I'm not going to be the one taking any risks. I'm not going to go to a place where I don't want to go." On Tuesday, Spain announced that all sports events with a significant number of people must be played without fans, while Italy on Monday suspended all sporting events until April 3. Italy is the country with most coronavirus cases in Europe, and Spain this week reported a sharp increase in cases.
Torres said he spoke to Inter officials and was told the Italian club recognised it didn't make sense for Getafe to play the match in Italy. In Germany, officials in Frankfurt gave the go-ahead to have fans at Eintracht Frankfurt's Europa League game against Basel on Thursday, but not for the Bundesliga game on Sunday against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
