Roma-Sampdoria suspended, Genoa-Fiorentina abandoned due to extreme weather

Fiorentina's away match at Genoa was abandoned due to extreme rainfall, while Roma-Sampdoria has also been suspended because of the weather.

Heavy rain in Italy led to the suspension of Roma's Serie A fixture against Sampdoria on Sunday, while Fiorentina's away match at Genoa has been abandoned.

After 28 minutes of Genoa-Fiorentina, with the score 0-0, the worsening weather made conditions impossible and the referee called a halt to the match.

There was no improvement and standing water on the pitch meant the decision was taken to abandon the game.
