Although Parma and SPAL are both preferring to wait for the FIGC and government to reach an agreement on health protocol, Sassuolo have decided to press ahead.

The Neroverdi said in an official statement: “U.S. Sassuolo Calcio announce that, from Monday May 4, they will grant their players use of the Mapei Football Center pitches for optional, individual sessions.

“Players will only be allowed access to the pitches, in compliance with the rules of social distancing, while access to indoor facilities (changing rooms, gyms, offices) will be prohibited.

“The individual sessions, which will take place during the mornings, from Monday to Friday, with the use of three pitches and six players per hour (one player for each half of the field), will not be attended by technical staff, while emergency medical supervision will be on hand.

“Access to the Mapei Football Center and car park outside the entrance will continue to be forbidden to any person who is not included in the subjects indicated above.”

Napoli have also been given permission to resume work on May 4 but have yet to confirm that they will.
