Italian Sports Minister Vincenzo Spadafora has reminded Serie A clubs that players will only be able work individually or in small groups when they return to training on Monday, with no firm date for a restart of the league in sight.

Clubs and players are preparing for a return after the government brought forward the easing of lockdown restrictions for team sports.

The government had initially declared only athletes involved in individual sport can begin training again, with team sports having to wait a further two weeks. However, it was later confirmed that the government had given team sports the go-ahead to return provided players train alone or in small groups.
