The possible resumption of training could be pushed back to later on in May according to a report in today’s print edition of La Stampa.

It has been widely suggested and spoken about by those in power that training could well resume starting May 4, when Italy will start to slowly relax current measures in place because of the ongoing global Coronavirus pandemic, as confirmed by Italian prime minister Giuseppe Conte.

However, the report from La Stampa claims that training may not resume until as late as May 18 given some recent comments made.

Much will ultimately depend on how the meeting between Italian minister for sport and youth policies Vincenzo Spadafora and the players goes tomorrow.

Reports have suggested that at least three weeks of training will be required before the season can resume and if the resumption of training is indeed pushed back until May 18, there will be no Serie A football until almost the middle of June.
