Unpopular decisions necessary amid wait for Serie A return - Spadafora

Italy's minister for sport Vincenzo Spadafora said while being extremely prudent is the "most unpopular" thing to do, it is necessary amid the wait for Serie A's return after the coronavirus outbreak.

Serie A was suspended indefinitely in March due to Covid-19 and the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has already stated that the 2019-20 season will not resume until the health and safety of all concerned can be guaranteed.

Spadafora is hoping to confirm a May 4 date for the return to Serie A training as soon as possible, with the current restrictions on movement and outdoor activities set to end on May 3.
