Rohr said: “Despite the currently situation in Europe due to Coronavirus pandemic, we believe all invited players should be in camp as scheduled in order to begin training.
“And with this current situation, that means we have only two days to prepare for the game.”
The Franco-German tactician also assured that Sebastian Osigwe who contracted COVID-19 would be ready for the tie.
