Manchester United managerOle Gunnar Solskjaer prepared his squad ahead of their away leg of their last-16 tie against LASK Linz in Austria with the news that the match will be played in front of no fans.
First-team players including Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire and David de Gea all took part in the training session at United's Aon Training Complex on Wednesday ahead of Thursday's match.
United's game is one of five matches in the Europa League set to be played behind closed doors on Thursday as the coronavirus continues to wreak havoc with football on the continent.
United confirmed on Tuesday that the decision had been made "following guidance from the Austrian government".
The news will be a disappointment to supporters of the Austrian club hoping to see their team spring a surprise against Solskjaer's in-form side.

Top investing tips for UAE residents in 2021
Build an emergency fund: Make sure you have enough cash to cover six months of expenses as a buffer against unexpected problems before you begin investing, advises Steve Cronin, the founder of DeadSimpleSaving.com.
Think long-term: When you invest, you need to have a long-term mindset, so don’t worry about momentary ups and downs in the stock market.
Invest worldwide: Diversify your investments globally, ideally by way of a global stock index fund.
Is your money tied up: Avoid anything where you cannot get your money back in full within a month at any time without any penalty.
Skip past the promises: “If an investment product is offering more than 10 per cent return per year, it is either extremely risky or a scam,” Mr Cronin says.
Choose plans with low fees: Make sure that any funds you buy do not charge more than 1 per cent in fees, Mr Cronin says. “If you invest by yourself, you can easily stay below this figure.” Managed funds and commissionable investments often come with higher fees.
Be sceptical about recommendations: If someone suggests an investment to you, ask if they stand to gain, advises Mr Cronin. “If they are receiving commission, they are unlikely to recommend an investment that’s best for you.”
Get financially independent: Mr Cronin advises UAE residents to pursue financial independence. Start with a Google search and improve your knowledge via expat investing websites or Facebook groups such as SimplyFI.
