Brescia owner Cellino blasts 'crazy' decision to resume Serie A season

Brescia owner Massimo Cellino has hit out at plans to resume the Serie A season next month, insisting players will be far more susceptible to injuries after being rushed back onto the pitch.

Italy's sports minister Vincenzo Spadafora on Thursday confirmed the top flight, which was suspended in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, can continue from June 20.

The Coppa Italia semi-final second legs and final will be held in the week leading up to that date, when it is intended league games will be held behind closed doors.
