Lazio’s Serie A Week 25 match with Torino will be played on May 18.
The game was postponed after Torino had a COVID outbreak on March 2 and the team was ordered into quarantine.
Although Lazio are continuing to appeal against the decision and asking for a 3-0 automatic victory in their favour, the precedent set by Napoli against Juventus makes that improbable.
There has been real difficulty finding a new date for the game and there were concerns it might even be played after the end of the Serie A season.

There has been real difficulty finding a new date for the game and there were concerns it might even be played after the end of the Serie A season.
This would be a disaster, because Lazio are still involved in the race for a Champions League spot and Torino are in the thick of the relegation battle.
A meeting today has set the date of May 18 for Lazio-Torino at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
It will be just a couple of days after the Rome Derby.
