Austrian soccer star Marko Arnautovic is trapped alone in Dubai due to the ban on entry of foreigners to China. The 30-year-old from Vienna should have returned to his Shanghai SIPG club this week in the current coronavirus crisis.

According to media reports, almost half of the foreign players have yet to return to the country. “There are no legionaries in the entire league,” Pranter said. “The question is whether they play without them.”
