Italian Serie A to resume training in May

Italian Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, has given the go-ahead for professional sports teams to start training again in May.

However, he did not set a date for the resumption of the Serie A. 

Italy was the first European country to be hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in the Serie A being suspended since March the 9th.

The Italian Football Federation has already drawn up a medical protocol for training.

All footballers and coaches alongside some others will be tested and then isolated in a summer-style training camp.

There are 12 rounds of matches still to play in Serie A, plus a number of games from previous rounds.
