Simone Inzaghi had a sensational start to his Champions League coaching career with that 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund, but there was a bombshell yesterday when 12 senior players did not make the journey to Belgium.

Although there is still no official confirmation, a spate of COVID-19 tests sparked the decision to leave Ciro Immobile, Luis Alberto, Manuel Lazzari, Lucas Leiva, Thomas Strakosha and Djavan Anderson behind, along with injured Luiz Felipe, Stefan Radu and Senad Lulic.

Andreas Pereira flew out today, reportedly because his viral load was so low it was diagnosed as a ‘false positive’ result on the second swab.

It’s a particularly damaging situation because Club Brugge are the joint group leaders after their surprise 2-1 win away to Zenit St. Petersburg.

That was achieved in stoppages thanks to Charles De Katelaere’s goal and he again leads the way with Krepin Diatta and Emmanuel Bonaventure.
