Inter join Arsenal in withdrawing from Florida Cup amid Covid concerns

The U.S. state is experiencing a massive rise in new cases, causing the two clubs to scrap their pre-season plans at the last minute

Inter have joined Arsenal in withdrawing from the Florida Cup due to concerns over the current state of the coronavirus pandemic.

The two sides had been expected to clash in the pre-season tournament in the United States on July 25, at Orlando's Camping World Stadium, but members of the Gunners' travelling party have tested positive for Covid-19 and the Nerazzurri are now out of the competition as a precaution.

Neither team will travel across the Atlantic Ocean and must seek new friendly opposition ahead of the upcoming 2021-22 campaign.
