The FIGC and Serie A have agreed on a new health protocol, which will be ‘promptly submitted’ to the Italian government.
Team training was all set to resume on Monday, until clubs pulled out of the original protocol as it required them to go into a quarantine camp for two weeks if one of their players tested positive for coronavirus.

Team training was all set to resume on Monday, until clubs pulled out of the original protocol as it required them to go into a quarantine camp for two weeks if one of their players tested positive for coronavirus.
Lega Serie A and the federation have been locked in talks this morning to agree on a list of amendments, and they have reached a successful outcome.
“A meeting was held this morning, in an atmosphere of active collaboration, between the FIGC, Lega Serie A, President of the FMSI [Federation of Italian Medics] Maurizio Casasco and the representative of Serie A doctors, Gianni Nanni,” it read.
“The points of the protocol that were difficult to implement were analysed, and some additions have been drawn constructively up to resolve the objective problems.
“There was a general agreement on the final proposals, formulated to ensure safe resumption of ground training, which will be promptly submitted to the Minister for Sport and Youth Policies, the Minister of Health and the scientific committee.”
Top-flight sides are requesting no group isolation in the event of a positive test, the abolition of quarantine camps and no legal liability for medics.
