Napoli’s Europa League elimination means we now have a date for their rescheduled Serie A match with Juventus, on March 17.
The Week 3 fixture was originally set for October 4, 2020 and called off when Napoli didn’t travel due to COVID cases.
They were docked a point and given an automatic 3-0 defeat for not sticking to the COVID protocol, but won on appeal, meaning the game now has to be played.
This created a new problem, as the fixture list was so packed that it was impossible to find a date to reorganise it.

Now that Napoli are out of the Europa League, it has opened up a window, specifically on Thursday March 17.
It is due to kick off at 17.45 GMT at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin.
This will also be the date for Torino–Sassuolo, which was due to kick off tomorrow evening, but was postponed due to a COVID outbreak at Toro.
