Giovanni Malago, the president of the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI), has confirmed that current restrictions prohibiting teams from training are set to be extended.
Due to the ongoing global Coronavirus pandemic, football at all levels in Italy has been on hold for about a month now and teams have also been unable to train since then due to government restrictions.
Malago has confirmed that the current restrictions are likely to be extended until the end of this month if not perhaps even the start of next month.
“I am constantly in contact with Minister Spadafora. I suppose, and I believe I am not mistaken, that the decree in preparation by the government confirms the blocking of training,” he explained in an interview with Italian radio station Radio Radio earlier on today.
“Until when? At least until April 27 or perhaps until the weekend of May 1.”
Numerous reports in the media in the past few days have suggested that teams could well return to training starting May 4.
Other reports have meanwhile suggested that the season could resume at the end of May or the beginning of June but it remains completely unknown if the season will even resume.
