Italian Serie A News :: Italian Football Federation hopes to test players for coronavirus in May before season restart

Posted on 2020-04-13 by Gooner

The Italian Football Federation hopes that players can be tested for coronavirus at the start of May in preparation for the season to restart.

Serie A has been suspended since 9 March because of the global pandemic. There is no set date for when the campaign can resume in Italy, with 12 full rounds and four outstanding fixtures still to play.

"As soon as the conditions are right, we'll finish the championship," said federation president Gabriele Gravina.

"We will start, I hope, at the beginning of May with tests to ensure that players are negative and training can follow.

"Will we play through the summer? We don't have a deadline but the idea is to finish the championships."
