Serie A, Italian govt to determine fate of season tomorrow

Lazio and head coach Simone Inzaghi are anxious to get back on the pitch.

The Italian season has been on hold since March 9 amid the coronavirus pandemic which has killed almost 33,000 people in the country. In the case of a favourable decision on Thursday, Lega Serie A have scheduled a meeting for Friday morning to examine “the different calendar hypotheses” for the remaining Serie A and Italian Cup matches.

The closing stages of the European club competitions could also be played in August. Three Italian clubs are still in the Champions League and two in the Europa LeagueBut not everyone agrees with a return to the pitch and the packed schedule required with teams needing to play three matches a week, in hot summer conditions.

AC Milan’s Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic, one of the big stars of the championship, has already suffered a calf injury in training, and could be out for a month.“If I were to speak only as a coach, I would prefer it to stop and start calmly next season.
