Amid reports of much of northern Italy being placed on lockdown, Damiano Tommasi has called for the suspension of the football season
Damiano Tommasi, president of the Italian Footballers' Association, wants all football in Italy to be suspended, following reports that several regions in northern Italy will be placed on lockdown.
Multiple news outlets in Italy have claimed that Lombardy, which includes the cities of Milan and Bergamo, and 11 neighbouring provinces will be locked down as part of a new government decree to control the spread of coronavirus.
In such circumstances, nobody would be allowed to leave or enter those areas except for emergencies or unavoidable work commitments.
