Napoli demand postponed Juventus vs Inter be played this week amid coronavirus confusion

Fears over a distorted calendar in Serie A continue to grow, but Italy's Minister for Sport says that health of the citizens must be the top priority

Napoli have asked for this week's Coppa Italia semi-final second legs to be postponed until May and have suggested that the postponed clash between Juventus and Inter should be played on Wednesday instead.

The clash between two of the leading contenders to win the Scudetto this season was due to take place on Sunday at the Allianz Stadium, but owing to fears over transmission of Coronavirus it has been pushed back by authorities to May 13, forcing a rescheduling of the Coppa Italia final to a week later.
