Ludogorets have asked UEFA for their scheduled pre-match press conference ahead of their Europa League match with Inter to be cancelled according to a report from FCInterNews.it.

Due to the Coronavirus outbreak in Italy, the game will be played behind closed doors at San Siro and Ludogorets want to take every precaution possible to avoid the virus and the possible infection of their players or other members of staff who will travel with the team.

The reigning Bulgarian champions have requested for the press conference to be cancelled meaning they would just train at San Siro and then immediately head to back to the hotel tomorrow.

Thursday night’s game is scheduled to kick off at 21:00 local time and the report goes on to state that immediately afterwards, Ludogorets will immediately head back to Bulgaria.

Ludogorets have it all to do in the second leg having lost the first leg to Antonio Conte’s side in Razgrad last week 2-0.
