Italian Deputy Minister of Health Pierpaolo Sileri spoke about the possibility of resuming the Serie A draw, which was suspended indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic.

" This is not tennis and not Formula 1. Football players are in contact, so there may be a risk of the spread of the virus. I worry about the health of our athletes, "

Earlier, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said that quarantine will be eased on May 4. Teams expected to return to training on May 18.

Italian Championship has been suspended due to the threat of the spread of coronavirus. The restart of the Serie A season is planned for June for empty stands.

After 26 rounds, Juventus leads the standings ahead of Lazio by 1 point.

UEFA, meanwhile, asked the association to provide plans from playing out the season until May 27. As an alternative, the organization is ready to accept various abbreviated formats for the end of the season: in the form of a playoff or mini-tournaments.



If the championship has to be completed ahead of schedule, the participants of the next season's Eurocups will be determined by the sporting principle, that is, by the position in the standings according to the number of matches played.

They also explained to UEFA who would not be allowed to enter Eurocups 2020/21..

The early completion of the competition has already been officially confirmed in the Netherlands, where mass events were banned until the fall. There they decided not to determine the champion of the 2019/20 season.
