Confirmed : No Europa League Action For Villarreal's Chukwueze On Thursday
Published: December 08, 2020Nigeria national teamer Samuel Chukwueze won't be involved in UEFA Europa League action on Thursday, December 10.
The matchday six fixture between Villarreal and Qarabag FK scheduled to hold at the Estadio de la Cerámica in Spain has been postponed because the Azerbaijani champions do not have the minimum number of players available for the game.
Several Qarabag players did not receive the medical green light to feature in the game after testing positive for coronavirus.
Europe's football governing body, UEFA will decide on the future fate of the match in the coming days after contacting both clubs.
While Chukwueze is fighting for a regular spot in Unai Emery's starting lineup and has seen his game time reduced for La Liga matches, he is often utilized in the Europa League with four starts from a possible five in this season's competition.
Thanks to his match-winning strike against Sivasspor last week, the Yellow Submarine have already qualified for the round of 32 as winners of Group I, having accumulated 13 points.
Up next for Chukwueze and his Villarreal teammates is a La Liga match against Real Betis on Sunday, December 13.
