Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has confirmed that clubs cannot have their players train until at least April 13 as part of new measures brought in to help in the fight against Coronavirus.

Football and all other forms of sporting activity have been on hold in Italy for a number of weeks now due to the ongoing global pandemic and the huge impact it has had on Italy.

Measures were originally in place preventing sporting activity taking place until April 4 but in a press conference earlier on this evening at Palazzo Chigi, he confirmed measures have been extended until April 13.

It is understood that there are some clubs who have been pushing to get their players back into training, especially Lazio via their president Claudio Lotito, whilst a number of other clubs are of the belief that there will be no more of this season played due to the situation.

“We have introduced a minimal change in the new decree which proposes the extension of the containment measures for Covid-19 until April 13,” Conte stated.

“We are suspending training sessions to avoid clubs from seeking sporting performances in the shape of training.

“Training in sports facilities is not allowed. This does not mean athletes cannot train but they will have to do it individually.”
