The Italian Football Federation met with the government’s technical scientific committee last week to discuss details for a return to group training as the country emerges from a two-month coronavirus lockdown. “The indications of the CTS, which are to be considered stringent and binding, will be sent to the Federation for the necessary adjustments of the protocol in order to allow for the safe resumption of team training starting from May 18.”
But there remain issues to be decided such as the quarantine of players in case of positive tests for coronavirus. There are still 13 rounds of football to be played for some teams between mid-June, when the FIGC hopes to return to action, and August. “If these changes are made, there may be collective training from May 18,” the sports minister told Italian television.
