UEFA will let Champions League group-stage games be played deep into January to complete any fixtures postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
UEFA ratified emergency competition rules Thursday that allow for seven extra weeks to make up games beyond the scheduled sixth and final round of fixtures on Dec. 9.
Any game which cannot be played by Jan. 28 will be forfeited as a 3-0 loss by the team responsible for the failure. The same rules apply to the Europa League.
