Anfield isn\u2019t completely off the table but it\u2019s just not possible currently under the German travel restrictions.<\/p>\n “There\u2019s no certainty at this stage but there doesn\u2019t need to be with the game still three weeks away.”<\/p>\n A decision from UEFA is expected at some point next week.<\/p>\n Liverpool head into the second leg with a 2-0 advantage<\/a> thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah<\/a> and Sadio Mane<\/a>.<\/p>\n Travel restrictions imposed by various countries have made the knockout stages of European competitions difficult to organise.<\/p>\n It has meant that clubs have had to hand over home advantage, with fixtures instead being held at neutral venues so that they did not have to cancelled or postponed.<\/p>\n Several Champions League and Europa League matches have been moved to neutral stadiums.<\/p>\n Manchester City’s last-16 first leg tie with German side Borussia Monchengladbach will be played at the Puskas Arena next week; Chelsea will travel<\/a> to the Romanian capital Bucharest to play Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n Manchester United had their match with Real Sociedad moved to the Juventus Stadium in Turin on Thursday night; Arsenal will be away for both legs of their clash with Benfica.<\/p>\n Main Photo<\/p>\nChange to UEFA Rules Allows Clubs to Continue to Play Despite Coronavirus Restrictions<\/h3>\n
