Evangelos Marinakis, a Greek businessman, was recently at the Nottingham Forest, Millwall game in Nottingham over the weekend, which could spark a bit of concern for the tens of thousands of fans and players that attended the fixture.

I strongly advise all my fellow citizens to do the same. I wish all a quick recovery.” It is said that the owner did not show any symptoms while in the UK, it was only once he returned back to Greece following this weekend where he started to show signs. Football governing bodies are now discussing the next best steps to take in order to prevent any more panic from spreading between the fixtures he was involved in.
