Italian football leaders ask government to rethink medical protocol

The Serie A league said after a meeting with the Italian Football Federation and representatives of team doctors on Friday that parts of the protocol were"difficult to implement".

The main sticking point has been the Minister of Health's insistence that, if a player tests positive for the coronavirus, the entire team would have to go into quarantine for 14 days. They argue that, in countries where the re-start of the league has been authorised, only the infected player needs to be isolated.

It said the meeting had ended with an a proposal for alterations to the protocol which would be submitted to the sports and health ministries.
