Sassuolo-Napoli kick-off time moved

Napoli’s trip to Sassuolo on March 31 will kick-off at 17.00 UK time, rather than 14.00 the Lega Serie A has confirmed.

The match could see the Partenopei return to the top of Serie A, and was originally scheduled for the Saturday afternoon.

However, the Osservatorio Nazionale sulle Manifestazioni Sportive requested that the game be moved back, “in order to guarantee order and public safety”.

Today the Lega Serie A has announced that the match will be played at 18.00 local time, 17.00 UK time.
