Serie A could resume near the end of May or the beginning of June according to a report in today’s print edition of Gazzetta dello Sport.

The season could resume on May 20, 23 or 30 or June 6. In order to conclude the season by the start of August teams will have to play games almost every three days and that is only as far as the league is concerned.

Given the height of the pandemic across Europe it is particularly difficult to plan ways that both the Champions League and Europa League can finish.

The report states that the format of the continental club competitions could well be changed to help them get finished and one such way could be to play a final eight style tournament.

In order for any more Champions League or Europa League football to be played, two things are required. The medical emergency needs to be over everywhere and travel between countries must be allowed too.
