Serie A football clubs have received the green light to resume collective training but will have to wait until May 28 to find out if the championship will resume.
“The technical scientific committee approved the protocol of the Italian federation (FIGC) in order to resume collective training. This is excellent news”, declared the Italian Minister for Sports, Vincenzo Spadafora on public television, qualifying the decision of ‘”decisive step for the return of football to Italy”.
He added that a meeting was planned for May 28 between the president of the federation Gabriele Gravina and that of the League Paolo Dal Pino in order to “decide if and when the Serie A should resume”
“The important thing is to start again with the firm intention of finishing the championship, then the federations will decide on the modalities and formats to adopt,” he said.
A controversial quarantine measure proposed by the authorities to reduce the risk of spreading Covid-19 is ultimately abandoned, the minister said.
It provided for a compulsory greening of two weeks when resuming collective training and a collective quarantine in the event of a positive coronavirus test among the workforce.
If a player is tested positive, he will be placed in quarantine and the rest of the team will be isolated and monitored, while continuing group training.
The members of Serie A clubs have been training individually since May 4. The Italian championship, suspended since March 9, cannot resume before June 14, according to a government decree published Monday.
The Covid-19 pandemic killed more than 32,000 people in Italy.
