Italy’s Premier Division, Serie A plans to resume its season on 13 June if Italy’s government approves.

The league’s general assembly met on Wednesday via videoconference and approved the date for resumption “in accordance with government decisions and medical protocols”.

Clubs in the Italian top-flight returned to training earlier in May but players can only train individually.
