Italian football to return on June 12 with Coppa Italia semi-finals

Italian football will return on June 12 with the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg matches, the country's minister for sport Vincenzo Spadafora has confirmed.

The first legs of the last four ties took place back in February, with Milan and Juventus playing out a 1-1 draw at San Siro and Napoli earning a 1-0 victory over Inter at the same venue.

The coronavirus outbreak saw all football in Italy cancelled indefinitely in March, but the action is set to get back underway later this month following the easing of lockdown restrictions across the country.
