Italian Players’ Association slam 'discriminatory and illogical' training centres ban

The Italian Players’ Association (AIC) has hit out at the government's decision to allow individual training as of May 4, but deny players the right to do so at their team facilities until May 18.

On Sunday, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte revealed a plan to gradually relax restrictions in the country, which has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.

As a part of a phased easing of restrictions, the government will allow running in open spaces from May 4 on while athletes in individual sports such as tennis will be allowed to return to their training facilities.
