MILAN: A leading Italian doctor specialising in infectious diseases said on Monday he would be against Serie A restarting its season next month.
"If I had to give a technical view, sincerely it would not be a favourable one. That being said, it will be of course for the politicians to decide," said Giovanni Rezza, the head of infectious diseases at Italy's National Institute of Health. "It's obvious that politics will decide. But it's a sport that involves contact and that contact could imply a certain risk of transmission."The Italian Football Federation is set to meet on Wednesday to discuss the medical protocols surrounding players training again, with lockdown measures in the country extended to May 3.
Rezza's comments have already caused strong reaction in Italy, with Torino president Urbano Cairo saying it is"senseless" to think about restarting the league before the end of May.
