Serie A soccer clubs are in limbo with several regions of Italy allowing players to begin practicing on an individual basis at training centers on Monday while the government has set a May 18 return to the practice field for teams.
Sports minister Vincenzo Spadafora is seeking clarification from the government’s techno-scientific coronavirus commission.
Emilia-Romagna, Campania, Lazio and Sardinia have each given the go-ahead for teams in their regions to begin individual training. Those regions contain eight Serie A clubs: Bologna, Sassuolo, Spal, Parma, Napoli, Lazio, Roma and Cagliari.
Serie A has been suspended since March 9, when the government ordered a nationwide lockdown.
The government announced a week ago that individual athletes can resume training on Monday May 4, while teams can restart May 18.
