ROME: The fixture list is ready and the restart date is confirmed but the Italian football federation is still worried that the Serie A season might not finish due to rules for quarantining players infected with COVID-19.
"It is creating anxiety for the whole football movement," said FIGC president Gabriele Gravina, adding that he had asked sports minister Vincenzo Spadafora to reconsider the rule if the number of new cases in Italy continues to drop. The Serie A fixture list has teams playing two matches a week from Jun 20 to Aug 2 to complete the season but this could be thrown into disarray if a team have to be quarantined for 14 days. If several teams were quarantined, finishing the season would become impossible.Gravina has put forward a number of backup solutions, which include a playoff system or simply declaring the current positions to be final, but none have been well received.
