ROME (Reuters) - A fixture between Udinese and Salernitana descended into chaos on Tuesday after local health authority (ASL) banned the recently-promoted side from travelling due to COVID-19 cases in their squad while Serie A refused to postpone the game.

Udinese players showed up in their Stadio Friuli stadium knowing that the ASL had banned the visitors from travelling north due to two positive cases in the squad.

Udinese named a starting line-up but remained in the dressing room, and after the regulation 45 minutes had passed from the scheduled kickoff time, the game was abandoned. “We went to Rome to play Lazio with seven players and our coach out with COVID last season. And we won 3-1.”“It isn’t up to us, we paid for a plane journey and then spent more on a charter flight. But if the authorities ban you from going, what can we do?” he said.Napoli were handed a 3-0 defeat and deducted a point after failing to show for their game against Juventus last season, after being told to stay put by the ASL following positive cases.
