Liverpool’s match against Arsenal in the English League Cup semifinals has been postponed following a COVID-19 outbreak in the squad that has forced the club to close its training center. The first leg that was scheduled to take place at Arsenal on Thursday will now be staged at Anfield on Jan. 13. The second leg will take place at Emirates Stadium on Jan. 20. In France, Lionel Messi returned to Paris from Argentina after no longer testing positive for the coronavirus and will rejoin the Paris Saint-Germain squad in training in the next few days.
