VIENNA (Reuters) - It "makes no sense" for Austria's clash with Italy in the last 16 of Euro 2020 on Saturday to be held in London as neither side's fans can fly there, the Alpine nation's coach said in remarks published on Wednesday, suggesting a change of venue.

The 24-team tournament is being held in various countries across the continent, each with their own coronavirus travel restrictions and social-distancing rules governing how many spectators can attend matches.
