The Derby della Lanterna has been rained off after the Stadio Ferraris pitch was waterlogged.

The game was set to kick off at 19.45 GMT this evening, but referee Gianluca Rocchi held two different tests and the ball simply was not bouncing or rolling.

It had been raining heavily for over four hours before the planned kick-off and weather reports suggest it is due to continue well into the night.

The two clubs and Lega Serie A will now decide when this game can be played.

Initial reports suggest March 4 or 11 are the most likely dates.
