Serie A clubs are set to return to training grounds next week after getting the go ahead from the Italian Government. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte’s plans to ease lockdown restrictions had initially made provisions for individual athletes to resume work from Monday, with team sports scheduled to follow suit on May 18. “Athletes and non-athletes of non-individual disciplines, like every citizen, are allowed to participate in individual sports in public or private areas, respecting the interpersonal safety distance of at least two metres,” the note reportedly said. Individual teams are likely to pursue their own arrangements now, steered by regional guidelines and their own preparedness to safely staff facilities. There is no certainty that the Serie A season will resume, with Juventus top of the paused table just a point ahead of Lazio.
