SPAL President Walter Mattioli has confirmed that his team are ‘ready’ to isolate themselves at a hotel for group training.
The government’s demands for squads to go into quarantine from Monday if one of their players tests positive for coronavirus means isolated training camps are the only way to avoid such an outcome.
The FIGC and Lega Serie A have already voiced their disapproval with the measure, but Mattioli says SPAL are happy to oblige.
“We’re ready,” he told Rai Radio.
SPAL President Walter Mattioli has confirmed that his team are ‘ready’ to isolate themselves at a hotel for group training.

The FIGC and Lega Serie A have already voiced their disapproval with the measure, but Mattioli says SPAL are happy to oblige.
“We’re ready,” he told Rai Radio.
“We have a hotel in the middle of Ferrara, which already looks after us during the season.
“Now it’s empty and ready for only us. We’ll move there with a group of about 60 people, who have already undergone medical tests, and we’ll have more 60 sixty rooms available, one for each player, where everyone can eat and sleep alone.
“We’re ready and we’ve studied the programmes, but we want to hear what the protocol says and what our doctors say first.
“We’re doing everything together with them and we’re waiting to depart. We also have a very nice training complex, which allows us to work in complete safety.”
