Juventus match in doubt
Juventus FC's UEFA Champions League Group D match against Bayer 04 Leverkusen is in danger of being postponed because of heavy fog.

Poor visibility
The game is due to kick off at 20:45CET, but less than half an hour before the start the Turin club's Delle Alpi stadium was enveloped in thick fog with visibility down to a few metres.

Initial inspection
After making an initial inspection, referee Urs Meier ruled that unless the fog cleared the game could not go ahead. A decision on whether the game will be called off will be made soon, according to the Swiss official.

Competition rules
Competition rules state that if the match cannot take place because of adverse weather conditions, then it must be played the following day. If, for reasons beyond control, the match cannot be replayed the next day, the two clubs are free to agree to play the match two days later.


Leverkusen on Thursday, and Lazio on Saturday? That sucks.

Just saw an interview with the Leverkusen manager on TV and he said the game will be played on Wednesday next week. I saw pics of the delle Alpi myself and it´s almost impossible to "play" football there at the moment. You can hardly see the goal from the corner of the box ...

That's what is technically known in meteological terms as a 'Pea Souper'.
