ANKARA: Turkey's sports minister is meeting on Thursday with soccer, basketball and volleyball federations to discuss a widening coronavirus outbreak after players and coaches criticised the decision to continue playing matches.
On Thursday, soccer's global players union FIFPRO said it had written to the Turkish league asking it to"urgently reconsider" its decision to continue matches and training."Numerous foreign players have contacted us to say they are uncomfortable continuing as #COVID19 spreads," FIFPRO said on Twitter.
"Life is the most important thing on earth ... this is serious thing happening and they still insist to continue do they really care about us?” the 25-year old Ghanaian posted on Twitter. John Obi Mikel left Turkish side Trabzonspor days after the former Chelsea midfielder said he did not feel comfortable with top-flight games in the country being played.
