Coronavirus: Italian FA chief says 2020-21 Serie A season could be split into groups & be completed in five months

Italian Football Federation (FIGC) president Gabriele Gravina says the 2020-21 Serie A season could be completed in a few months and consist of group stages and play-offs in order to complete the current campaign.

Top-level football across Europe has been put on hold amid the coronavirus pandemic, with Italy one of the worst hit countries in the world.

The Italian government has extended its current strict restrictions on movement and outdoor activities until May 3, although plans are now starting to be put in place as to how normal life can be resumed once lockdown is over.
