Inter and Italian national team defender Antonio Candreva has insisted that health is the most important thing at the moment, not football, as speculation continues on when the 2019/20 season could possible resume.

The Serie A season has been on hold for little over a month now due to the ongoing global Coronavirus pandemic but the league and clubs still remain hopeful of it resuming and in the past few days they have voted unanimously in favour or resuming it and finishing it if the Italian government allows.

“It is a delicate moment. We did not expect this pandemic. Football is now in the background, everyone’s health matters most. It is important that everything is resolved in the shortest possible time,” he explained in an Instagram Live chat with Italian singer Fabio Rovazzi earlier on this evening.

Candreva was then asked about the possibility of football returning and players having to follow the social distancing rules in place.

“Football without touching each other? I could not even imagine that. Football is a contact sport where there is contact between one another and there are tackles. It is impossible to think of football without contact with the opposition or fellow players in training.”

This season Candreva, who is under contract with the club until the end of next season, has made 26 appearances across all competitions to date. In just over 1800 minutes, he has scored four goals and tallied six assists.
